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 .

Boy, if it wasn't just yesterday I wrote about the problems the MI-GOP is having with their flagship figurehead.

Snyder told reporters on Wednesday the wave of recalls is "part of democracy."
"The big question is, most of us were elected just last November," he said. "As a practical matter, to be recalling people ... I know in my case I'm just following through on what I said I was going to do."

Sorta sounds like an Obama you got what you voted for, doesn't it? The funny thing is that during the Primary and General elections when on the rare occasion that the dark horse Yobbite candidate Snyder spoke, he's pretty much still telling you the truth. Y'all bought into his Centrist Tripartisan Corporatism, so what's the problem now? Yessiree, you've got your big government, labor unions as embolden as they've ever been, and the private sector business and citizens still forced to cater to the aforementioned. Recipe for success? Ohio and Wisconsin didn't think so, and there's little on the recall front going on there. Heck, in Wisconsin the only real goings on is they're recalling {gasp} their Democrats!

So, Governor Snyder, Speaker Bolger, Sen. Leader Richardville, and MI-GOP Chairman, how's that leaving the hammer in the unions hands working out for ya?
