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.

Durant Comes Out Swinging

I was surprised to see this story this morning about Bob Lutz endorsing Clark Durant in his Senate bid against Debbie Stabenow (or Pete Hoekstra for that matter). Is this primary race shaping up to be a clash of the titans? It seems like the endorsements are coming "fast and furious" and much earlier than usual for a race like this. The Makinac Conference, the unofficial start of the campaign season here in Michigan, doesn't start until the 23rd and Durant hasn't even "officially" announced his candidacy yet. I am seeing comparisons between the Lutz endorsement and Gov. Snyder's as being politicians vs. business sector. What do you think?

Car whiz Lutz to help Clark Durant
General Motors adviser Bob Lutz likes Michigan charter school executive Clark Durant so much that he's signing on as the Republican U.S. Senate candidate's general finance chairman.
Lutz told The Associated Press in an interview that Durant has "impeccable" business credentials, is a compassionate conservative and would be the best Republican to run against Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow in 2012. The well-known auto design guru's high profile could be a bonus for Durant, who's facing former U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra and three others in the GOP race.
