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

There appears to be confusion regarding my previous post about New Jersey's Governor Chris Christie.

The paragraph about my current employment situation was not meant to be a complaint. I was only using it to show the discrepancy between the looting world of Government and the real, productive world.

I love my job and the company I work for. (FYI: The company is not based in Michigan.)

When I leave a company and go to a new one, I make sure I'm happy with the compensation package I negotiate at the beginning. I operate on the assumption that I am not entitled to any increase and will not receive any.

I know this is Right Michigan but the speech New Jersey, Governor Chris Christie gave to a gathering of mayors is applicable to Michigan and all insolvent states.

The video is long but well worth the time.

What really hit home was his pledge to cut back the increases given to government employees. I've been with my company for three years. The company is fabulously successful yet nobody has received a salary increase or promotion during this time. If employees that produce and add to the economy have to "sacrifice" increases, why should people that produce nothing get => 4% increases when their companies, the state and municipalities, are bankrupt?

God help us!
