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.

I have several video segments from an event on the island with candidates in a fundraiser.

The Madison PAC, and Jack Hoogendyk are seeking REAL Republicans for legislative positions, and much like our $100 project are supportive of primary efforts that bring conservative values into play.

The Second in the series is Lana Theis running for the 42nd district house seat.

More to follow.

The time has come for all good men to rise above principle. ~ Huey Long

~Reposted from MTTM because it needs to get out.~

mmm?

This thing reads like a screenplay for a movie about graft and corruption and most certainly those who find themselves at odds with abusive government.

But it's reading is unfortunately a very real series of events unfolding in Northern Michigan that threatens 150 employees, and a 65 year old family owned business. Playing out in a way that at first glance may have its tale told in full.

Please proceed..

No one was more disappointed than I, upon seeing Newt Gingrich sitting on the sofa professing some reality to the global warming scam in the "WE" ads. From that point I have had lukewarm feelings about his ability to produce common sense solutions, and have been very doubtful about his conservative cred.

However, in his Mackinac Island speech, he has a message worth listening to.
