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.

In a follow-up to a column I had written this past Friday, it looks like an extra day of "kicking it" with Dan at the mansion, might have been all Granholm needed to get back to work. It seems the relaxation of a holiday weekend, (or the perennially ticking budget clock) has finally forced Granholm to lay-out a plan to fix Michigan's critically neglected budget.

Despite today being the first day that members of the public were allowed to know what their chief executive had on her mind, Granholm claims that this plan had been "on the table" for an entire month. So the obvious question becomes, why the hold up? Why did Granholm, for an entire month, let Michigan citizens and the media play the Brett Favre game as to whether or not she actually had a budget? Once I read her plan, the answer was pretty obvious. If I had to get behind this proposal, I think I would have waited as long as possible before saying anything to the public as well. (read more)
