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.

This very important lesson was imparted to me when I had began driving for a living several decades ago by a wise trucker.

Maybe because I had more co-workers who had more conscience about training me at that time, or they were just superior to the people turning out the "young guns" nowadays, but I understood this axiom very clearly even back then, and over the years, have gained a greater appreciation for it.

It is also a lesson that I found is easily and very applicable outside of trucking.

Am I trying to change the focus over from politics to Trucking?

Not exactly.

Stop me if you've heard this before.

Unable to make the difficult decisions involved in allocating current revenue and cutting wasteful programs, Gov. Snyder is calling for more taxes and fees to address this dilemma.

So, what's it gonna be this time?

One of the things that I've observed about the Republican Party over time was that at the places I've visited or read/watched about online, they just love to use the buzzwords "They are for limited government."

This week's actions only reinforce the fact that nothing could be further from the truth.

In what he feels is "necessary" to plug a massive hole in his budget that continues much of the status quo from Lansing, but fails to take into account will infuriate the senior population here in Michigan, Gov Snyder committed political seppuku this morning by taxing not only public pensions here in Michigan, but private as well.

So how's that going to pan out?
