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.

At 7 PM tonight, the Grand Traverse County Commission will have an opportunity to offer its support for the Freedom To Work coalition through a resolution that will go to other counties, State Representative Wayne Schmidt, and State Senator Howard Walker.

The unions? Not so happy. Even though this is a non binding, non directive resolution that merely states support by the commissioners for the freedom of workers to choose for themselves where they are employed, and who represents them to prospective employers. They see it as an attack on unions, when it is not. Times have changed, and this is an opportunity to move forward and bring back the greatness the Michigan workforce once had.

Living in the stone-age is not an excuse for the inability for Michigan workers to compete with others internationally, and nationally who are not bound by third parties "eating their substance."
