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.

Retaking The Breakfast

There is little doubt that the Republican party has had a renewal in the last year and a half, as conservatives rejoin, engage, and invigorate its ranks. Many independents, and even some folks who are tired of being associated with the Socialism of the Democrat party are refilling the ranks of the GOP, and reconsidering the false premise of redistribution and its adverse effects.

Most long time readers here should recall such wonderful conversations about third parties, independents etc.. I know I do. And even before the dust settled on the miserable failure of 2008, it was clear that the political future in Michigan would be complete with a new conservative breed and a little different take on WHEN we can make a difference.

The time is now. August 3, we make some important choices on where we will be going, who will be our champions, and what values they carry in our stead. They will be listening best RIGHT NOW. If you have anything to say, to offer, to contribute.. it is time. The primary will set the tone. The general will determine if your vision carries on.

With that said..
