Your New Scoop Site

Welcome to Scoop!

To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

Some tips:

Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

Governor? You paying attention?

Michigan 7th district Congressman Tim Walberg joined with several House colleagues in a press conference to demand a response to a June 2nd letter sent by 33 House members to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. The letter asked for information on waivers to President Obama's health care law, including details on the number and types of waivers denied and pending, as well response time to waiver requests.

In his comments, Congressman Walberg cited the recent hiring spree by McDonald's Restaurants, which has been exempted from the health care law, as an example how businesses can flourish and expand when not subject to onerous federal mandates.

He says:

"When you are not under the gun of the ObamaCare mandates, you can hire employees. We ought to give that same opportunity to other employers around this nation."

Indeed. RESTORE that <strike>opportunity</strike> RIGHT to operate your business as you see fit.
