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

ScoopHost.com is currently running Scoop version Undeterminable from .

Because this has been a pretty hot topic here, I thought a floor speech from 05-25-10 would be an interesting read. Because of Jen's work, many of us are quite familiar with the rejection by Granholm of jobs for Northern Michigan. The power plant is but one part of the bigger picture, of the systematic dis-assembly of Michigan's manufacturing infrastructure.

Jason Allen puts it on record here:

"I would like to express my personal disappointment in Governor Granholm and her administration's decision late last Friday to deny Wolverine Electric Co-operative's application for an air quality permit needed for its proposed power plant in Rogers City.
But I would be only a single voice expressing this displeasure.
Maybe I should be speaking on behalf of the hundreds of construction workers, engineers, suppliers and contractors who would find employment at the power plant construction project in an area of the state that has been experiencing near 20 percent unemployment levels.
But I'm certain that they also are letting the Governor and her administration know that they strongly disagree with her ill-advised action.
