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.

That's the percent of actual state taxpayer monies cut from the hands of the Looting MEA teachers union. Please, for the love of God, Lansing MI-GOP... put down the Gransfors double bit before you nearly chafe away anymore stratum corneum.

Despite threats of a teachers' strike and recalls of the governor and other politicians, Michigan's K-12 public schools will receive only about $1.6 million less in state funding in 2011-12 than they did the previous year, according to James Hohman, assistant director of fiscal policy at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy.
That $1.6 million is a scant 0.014 percent decrease from what is an $11 billion state budget for public schools. By comparison, Ann Arbor Public Schools spent about $2.4 million on athletics in 2009.
"There is the same amount of state money going to schools this year as there was last year," Hohman said.

This is all the more reason for the TEA Partiers to either commandeer the ACT Blue recall, or go for it with their own recall.

Un-f#@%ing-believable
