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 .

What a difference one election makes.

Consider that back in 2006 Michigan voters went to the polls with a choice between four more years of plummeting employment, a dwindling population base, skyrocketing foreclosures and bankruptcies and government spending run amok or a fresh start with a man at the helm who had personally turned around a multi-billion dollar global business, personally created thousands of Michigan jobs and had a fresh approach and perspective that put Michigan families and job makers above Michigan bureaucrats and special interests.

Common sense, of course, dictated that we overwhelmingly reelect the least successful governing team in the state's history, begging for more of the status quo and saying "no thanks" to the turn around artist.

Now here we are, a little more than two years later and things have pretty much gone according to the book. Our unemployment rate has skyrocketed to 10.6 percent, families continue to flee and things look to be getting significantly worse before they ever get better.

Except at that turnaround artist's old business back in Grand Rapids, anyways.
