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.

This is the season where we decide whether to vote for candidate A or candidate B. Primary voting will decide who represents each respective party, and typical issue related campaign points will be made by those who would represent us in the state house, senate or Michigan's executive office.

That is unless you are Rick Snyder.

The gubernatorial prospects on the Republican side of the state's high office race include two strong natural contenders, a couple of other decent guys and a rich guy who thinks he can buy the office as a part of of a personal bucket list.

Allow me to be clear.. Being rich in and of itself, offers no discount to a person's qualification to hold office, and YES, it can suggest a fiscal ability that many who hold office are unable to fathom. It is no guarantee however that an understanding of the real issues people and our state faces daily. And given the most recent TV ad by Rick Snyder, we can see issues are not nearly as important as rumor and innuendo.
