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.

The Other Club's proprietor has also objected to the expensive and unnecessary additional cost for Michiganders, and really drives home the reality we face. Duane opines:

Imminently-former-Governor Granholm's desire to manufacture windmills now moves from merely stupid to surreal. You are subsidizing the manufacture of windmills so they may be sold to people who have just arranged to tax you in order to enable distribution of electricity from the windmills. That electricity will charge the batteries Ms Granholm has also subsidized, in cars the Feds have forced you to pay for, built by a company whose union you were made to bail-out. All with no law being passed.

Former governor not soon enough.. a little over 4 hours.. Tick Tock Tick Tock

If you hadn't seen the story yet, perhaps its time. "The first clue should have been they didn't name it Michigan Watt" - The Other Club

I was hardest of any on MR. Snyder during the primary. I think however, if what he will do is radically different its worth stepping back a bit - Will Republicans in MI Legislature Derail State's Comeback? - RightCuz

Someone ordered snow for Atlanta. Suckers indeed.. Georgia on my Mind - Rougblog

Once upon a time I had a downturn in revenue for my business. I seriously considered (would have been a mistake) cutting out my advertising budget. Think of that when you read Survey Sez - The Voice of One Crying Out In Suburbia
