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

What Have You Done For Us Lately

Mr Obama? Quite a bit according to him.

Michigan has seen a little light at the end of the tunnel, but no doubt there is a bit more to go before we get there. Add to this, the lack of moral compass this president has is once again front and center.

His new campaign "tool" showcases the accomplishments in his time running our most fabulous bureaucracy, the federal government. from Health to Taxes, to Recovery, there is so much positive to claim! I have sampled a few below for your edification.

First there is the most important funding of program dollars for the promiscuous women Michiganders. For REALZ!:

" 1,557,614 women in Michigan will gain access to birth control with no copay next year, in addition to their existing preventive services."

See? No worries gals big O has got your back.

Now get to work! (JOBS CREATION AS A BONUS!!)

Then there is the

"+26.0% increase in hydroelectric production in Michigan, 2009-2011.."

yep.

Everyone knows how easy it was for Obama to go in and turn on those rivers! Even with the federal dollars helping to destroy three hydro dams up here in that time, he accelerated the rivers flowing elsewhere in our state enough. Enough in fact to overcome the EPA mandated closures and reduction of inexpensive coal. Hotshot.

But a real amazing task was accomplished on the Western coast. Not just amazing, but miraculous! For it was :

" 12,500 private sector jobs added in Holland-Grand Haven, MI MSA, February 2010 to July 2012."

WOW.

How incredible is that? 12,500 jobs created in an area that has as a total population of about 44,000. (33,210 Holland, and
10,511 Grand Haven Michigan) Given that in 2010, Holland had 15% unemployment, and Grand Haven about 13%, there must be a lot of folks with extra jobs to give away even!

Maybe the kindergartners are putting in a few double shifts too.
