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.

For support, questions, and general help with Scoop, email support@scoophost.com

A 2 For 13 Record . . . And He Wants To Keep His Job

Most everyone reading this site recalls, likely with disgust, the 2008 Detroit Lions season, in which the team originally known as the Portsmouth Spartans became only the second team in the post-merger NFL to rack up nothing but losses during an entire regular season. Team president and CEO Matt Millen was fired on September 24 (during the bye week), after eight years of management in which the team accumulated a league-worst record of 31 wins and 84 losses. Head coach Rod Marinelli and most of his assistants were fired the day after the season ended, and even though I don't think that was really necessary, as a military veteran I get that the guy in charge has to answer for such a grave failure, regardless of his personal culpability.

And yet, for the second time in my personal involvement with the Michigan Republican Party, we have a state party chairman trying to leverage a disappointing Election Day performance into somehow retaining his seat, though to be fair the 2012 defeat is perhaps best characterized as only slightly less devastating than the two shellackings we suffered through under Saul Anuzis. However, unlike 2007, when Saulius ran effectively unopposed for state chair, Mr. Robert I. Schostak does indeed face a serious challenger to his continued tenure as MIGOP Chairman. Though Chairman B. S. touts his election year successes as reason to retain him in his position, methinks this is so much . . . well . . . blown smoke.
