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

MichCon Customers To Pay For Uncollectibles

Reported by statewide news agencies today:

"MichCon gas customers will pay a $3.48 monthly surcharge over the next 15 months, as opposed to 12 months, to cover $87 million in "uncollectibles" the utility incurred in 2008, under a decision handed down today by the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC)."

"To help moderate the impact on customers, the MPSC directed the surcharge to be collected over a 15-month period instead of the usual 12 months."

This is an outrage! Why do I have to pay for the misdeeds (and missed payments) of other MichCon customers?

What do you think?
