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.

A shout out to Sens. Pavlov and Colbeck, as well as Rep. Lyons and McMillin for their part.

Lansing, MI -- As parents, educators and policy makers this week commemorate National School Choice Week, parent members of the Michigan Chapter of Public School Options.org today applauded state lawmakers who have helped make Michigan one of only four states in the nation to earn an "A" grade from the Center for Education Reform.

"Each of our children have only one chance at childhood and one chance at an education that will prepare them to take on the world," said Sandy Smith, Chair of the Michigan Chapter of Public School Options.org. "There's little wonder why parents are clamoring every day for more and better choices in their children's education."
