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

ScoopHost.com is currently running Scoop version scoop-1_1-dev from 2006/08/26 20:02:04 .

I caught this article from Phil Power on the Livingston Daily. Phil reported on the gloom permeating the Mackinac Policy Conference and hope what he's reporting is not true

(Cross posted From Michigan Taxes Too Much)

As much as I could cover the printing of money that the government does not legitimately have, I will not. In as far as the value of the dollar dropping because of additional currency made to meet a need, that isn't the topic today. Perhaps the title might be a little misleading. Perhaps I am instead discussing that which is not real, and it has little to do with money directly, but instead challenges ideas and ideals.
