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.

ScoopHost.com is currently running Scoop version Undeterminable from .

8AM rules committee thing tomorrow.. Some are concerned it will be designed to favor particular candidates. Hopefully on the up and up. Chairing it will be Jason Allen. Fair play gentlemen, is key to restoring trust within the party. You cannot afford to blow this opportunity, and you may.

Betty Weaver is on the Bus.. What I find to be a strange event, is the appearance of Elizabeth Weaver at our Traverse city Pick up Spot for the Glenn Beck Restoring Honor Rally Bus heading to DC. Had the pleasure of an hour long conversation between GR and Okemos, where she boarded the bus to head to the event. Apparently a big Beck fan.

Robo Calls suck.. No fewer than 20 Robo calls a day as a reward for becoming a precinct delegate. Bill Schuette, Michelle McManus and Mike Bishop topped the list. Question.. Do we have a THIRD alternative to the AG nod?

Non identified emails, and fake websites set up to encourage voting by delegates.. THEMICHIGANREPORT.COM is as fake as reporting blogs go. Anyone who cannot put their name or normally used moniker on their work is hardly worth paying attention to. FAIL.

Official business? Not much happening this weekend. Sure, technically the delegates to the Michigan Republican State Convention will be electing Ambassador Ron Weiser to be the next Chairman of the Party. Yep, they'll be selecting a variety of Vice Chairs and other Party positions, too, but most of those races sorted themselves out before activists and volunteers converged on the Capitol City.

This Convention has been about something else entirely. Energy. The juice bouncing between the Radisson and the Lansing Center (the event is huge, with thousands of attendees, and spread over the two downtown buildings) has been unbelievable. Folks are ready to brush off last November's setbacks and are pumped about getting to work on the future.

Welcome to the Convention.

The weekend started around 4pm when GOP candidates for various statewide posts hosted receptions to say hello to the out-staters making their way to the Capitol.

The newest gubernatorial candidate, Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land had a massive crowd. Attorney General candidate and current Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop had one going too. So did AG candidate Bill Schuette, maybe the biggest of the afternoon.
