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 Undeterminable from .

Its time you cut loose from your organized labor influences.

Its not the teachers that are our enemies. Its not the firemen, the police, or the trade workers. Its none of those people who are concerned about their jobs, and how the current anti union sentiment will affect their lot in life. They see Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, and wonder openly if they are next. They are. And you know it.

And you know the problem is not them.

The trouble our educators, our public service folks, our protectors have, is the ability to benefit from their service. Teachers that truly teach should be rewarded. Police and firemen that are trustworthy and truly protectors are stressed because the tax bases of their communities are falling apart. And we pretend we don't know why? Is it that easy to believe the union parasites that feed off our public servant's efforts are in it for the good of those public servants?

When teacher's benefit packages cost half again the amount the same package would be from BCBS, you should be asking why. When a teacher who is conservative looks to a newly elected (presumably conservative) Republican majority, he should have no doubts that help is on the way. That he or she can count on perhaps a little assistance in being able to chart his or her own course. When the industries that make up the tax base in so many communities move away or fail because they cannot compete in our environment, safety becomes the casualty. It doesn't have to be that way, and there is a cure.

And it begins with Right-To-Work Mr Richardville.
