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

"When I think about our nation's future and the direction the Obama administration and Democrats in Congress are taking us, it's clear to me that electing more Republicans will not be enough...what we need are strong, conservative leaders who will have a national platform to articulate our conservative principles." - Sen. Rick Santorum

State Senator Wayne Kuipers recently announced that he is the first candidate in the race for the 2nd Congressional District to sign Club for Growth's "Repeal it!" pledge to repeal Obamacare should it become law. What's better than being first, of course, is being credible.

A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

The Obama administration is pursuing the largest expansion of federal government since FDR's New Deal. Federal spending is mortgaging our children's future and will ultimately result in a decrease in our standard of living, increased taxes, and increased inflation. And while they currently have the votes in Washington to shut Republicans out of the process, the liberal leadership can't silence the growing number of Americans who object to their statist vision.

The TEA Party movement and all those grassroots folks who turned out at health care town hall meetings this summer have put a serious cramp in the Democrat's style, and have given them reason to be concerned about the 2010 midterm elections. While those elections remain more than a year away, the primary race in Michigan's 2nd Congressional District is already heating up.
