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.

Most would consider Henry Payne at the Michigan View as a pretty good guy. I would say he could even be considered "conservative" and most of his positions would justify that. Most often we could agree in fact with what his opinion of the day might be.

But sometimes he is wrong. Straight out, absolutely mistaken.

Today Payne opines:

" ... Not to be outdone, the Right's religious crazies decided to attack The Learning Channel and its advertisers for airing a positive show about five American Muslim families in Dearborn.
We're not making this up. "

No, not making it up, but so what? And frankly what makes them crazy? Because they are religious? Or because they perceive a threat from Islam; "the Religion of Peace?" I would really be interested in what it is about those Christian crazies that threatens Mr Payne. Certainly not that they will blow up a plane that he is on with shoe based incendiaries, or crotch explosives. Undoubtedly not a collision with a Tower at an unfortunate time. Probably not a soldier opening fire on his brothers and screaming "Jesus Akbar!!" Perhaps, just maybe, it is those crazy values like free speech and intelligent consideration of real and ongoing threats? Threats backed up by recurring "man-made disasters?"

Maybe it stems from the very real fear people have of saying "Merry Christmas" during this time of year?
