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 .

While I cogitate on which parts of the convention are most worthy of commentary, I would like to give a shout out to a "regular reader" who has said nice things about writing and commenters on this site.

I am humbled and I truly appreciate his words of support, and can hopefully continue earning his eye here at RightMichigan.com and at MTTM. It is an honor.

The photos are below the fold.

Into the Fray...

I don't expect to debate a lot of issues here related to our local county commission, but I wanted to announce that I have decided at the last minute to throw my hat into the ring for a county commission seat in Grand Traverse County. From the Traverse City Record Eagle:

Republican Bruce Hooper, 53, will have to win twice to earn a third term representing Peninsula Township and small parts of Traverse City and East Bay Township. Hooper, a farmer, will face Internet retailer and business owner Jason Gillman, 44, a local Tea Party organizer and son of Traverse City Commissioner Mike Gillman.
"I've been lobbying for responsible government for a couple of years, and I just decided it's time to get directly involved in the process," Gillman said. He favors private property rights and less intrusive but more efficient government.

Pretty much nails it.

Wish me luck, and feel free to offer advice.

You probably don't know this, but I actually got picked up (as well as Nathan Inks) for being a staff columnist. Figure I'd toss a link out to my first piece.

Formatting is probably a little different than what you are used to seeing with my stuff, but it is what it is to work with the formatting of the paper.

Government regulation is a hindrance to business
