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.

Much has been said on this site (frequently on the front page) in strong support of Mike Cox, Michigan's current Attorney General and one of five Republican candidates for Governor. If one of those politically disengaged folks that I talked about in an earlier essay were to view this site, such an individual might conclude that Mr. Cox were the leading candidate on the GOP side of the ballot this primary season. A sound thought, perhaps, but also dead wrong; and a dangerous conclusion in any event.

We here in the Grand Rapids field offices have some "undercover operatives" in Dem-friendly organizations in our area (Central-West Michigan). According to what they're passing on to us, Michigan Democrat Party wants Cox as the GOP nominee. That's because they have a fairly thick dossier of dirt on our current AG . . . and they will use that file to full advantage in the general. In fact, Mike Cox is a potential Republican gubernatorial nominee that Brewer's crew is convinced that they can beat, because there are problems with the man some view as Michigan's answer to Rod Blagojevich that haven't surfaced much on RightMichigan.
