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.

Ah, today offers another cry me a river drivel from the other liberal Detroit rag.

As a 9-year-old living near Tijuana, Mexico, Dayanna Rebolledo could stand on her tiptoes and peek over a fence at the United States. Across the fence was a safer country, a place where she could get a better education, a land of opportunity.
Now 21, having lived as an undocumented immigrant for 12 years in Detroit, Rebolledo wonders if she was wrong about that opportunity. She can't get a driver's license. She's attending Henry Ford Community College, but she won't be able to get a good job without a Social Security card.
"I don't know where my life is going to go," Rebolledo said.

Holy crap! Can you imagine being in the adult world for three years, while attending a community college as an illegal alien and making a statement like that? I can't. Dayanna, and all others like her should be really, really p!ssed off at her parents. They are the ones who chose through their own volition to be reckless gatecrashers without regard for their children let alone our American Laws. Without sorrow, it's time to return to your motherland, Dayanna. You've known that you didn't belong just like your parents who broke our Laws bringing you hear.

Luckily, Michigan is about to correct that problem.
