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

Huh..

Rich people create jobs. To grow their income they either invest it in outside companies or perhaps their own, which will use the investment to expand, OR they will spend it on the types of products that require manufacture. Manufacturing itself requires the creation of jobs for the process. A manufacturer, or Value adding business must produce a product that is worth more than the sum of its ingredients, or it fails.

That is a good thing right? ..Why yes, it is..

Profits extracted from the process, are flipped back over in the manner described above.

Michigan manufacturers and business owners have created an incredible amount of wealth over the years. In that process there were a few folks who certainly have done well for themselves, including icons like Mike Illitch, Tom Monahan, Dick Devos, and Rick Snyder to name a few. These 'fat cats' have made it possible for a number of other entrepreneurs to find their road to riches as well.

Its kind of funny however, when politicians discuss these folks as if they are bad ones that need to be punished..

Below the fold we go!
