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 .

So Much For Dashboard Accountability

In fact, go ahead paint the windshield black and hit the gas.

The Governerd has drawn the line in the embryonic muck used in our universities. He doesn't want the details of taxpayer funded stem cell research to be TOO transparent. From the Ivory tower:

"Republican Michigan legislators who are trying to force the University of Michigan to provide details on embryonic stem-cell research have a big hurdle to overcome: Gov. Rick Snyder.
Snyder, also a Republican, remains convinced that the Legislature cannot force U-M or other universities to answer questions about stem cells included in budget bills, his spokeswoman told the Free Press."

Of course such transparency might reveal even more of the dirty little secret known as Detroit with its status as abortion capitol.

My goodness we hate to see little shredded blobs of plasma go to waste. Golly if those mean ol Republicans would just stop nosing around where they aren't welcome! Just give the money and shut up already.

Anyhow, had to put it out there. Stay tuned.

Some bathroom reading material for us.

Huh, I don't think Mary Sue Coleman's salary (a bit over $730,000.00 total package) is high enough, so you better up that $268,000,000.00 a few million more.
