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.

It's been all over the local and national news. Rush Limbaugh even chimed in today before his 1 pm break on the matter.

The State of Michigan decided to issue a letter to Lisa Snyder warning her to stop looking after her neighbors' children as they waited for their school bus to arrive. Seems the bureaucrats in Lansing believe this constitutes running a daycare without being properly licensed by State regulators.

Ms. Snyder, who lives in the Middleville area of Barry County, MI, ceased doing her neighbors the favor and immediately contacted the Lansing busy-bodies to make sure they wouldn't haul her off to the hoosegow.

This not-so-little episode in Lansing bone-headedness brings up all sorts of issues. Everything from parental rights to the proper role of government in our society and how it approaches its bosses - and by "bosses" I'm referring to YOU and ME, you know, the people these bureaucrats are supposed to answer to.
