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.

The Big Picture

Matty Moroun will be repairing the Depot.

The nearly 100 year old building will see a couple of improvements, or repairs so that it becomes more attractive to developers:

"We're doing it because it would be much easier to help a developer to come up with a package to use the depot if some improvements were made ... so that's what we're doing."

Some might see it as a ploy and PR stunt to gain support for the Ambassador Bridge Company in its fight against the state (Snyder) plan to build a publicly owned international bridge, and it may be. However, once again, the money being spent is not only from a private source, but it has a planned end; the redevelopment of a blighted area.

And while Detroit has not yet shown its repentance yet, it will be rewarded with another attempt at bringing back something it chased away with the socially progressive policies that destroy nations. IMO Detroit doesn't deserve Moroun or the International Bridge Company. Especially considering the backing it has given to the public span idea. The idea to destroy a private business so that the state can have management rights for the crossing into Canada might be the plan of our Governor, but it will not be supported by this writer as I am paying taxes and in my right mind.
