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.

Something entertaining happened in Riverside Park (that's on the north side of Grand Rapids, for those of you unfamiliar) on Saturday afternoon. To read the article from the Grand Rapids Press, you'd think it was the presence of our esteemed Senator Carl Levin at the annual Kent County Democrats Annual Dogs & Suds Picnic. The good senator was apparently there to discuss the stimulus package, the national debt, and cash-for-clunkers. He also told the local party faithful about his push to get President Obama to appoint a panel of health care specialists to flesh out details of the president's universal health care plan.

Evidently he wants to have that panel hosted somewhere other than in DC, where the panel won't be so vulnerable to attacks. Definitely in the Midwest, maybe Michigan. According to the senator, "There's a firestorm of rhetoric and misinformation around this historic issue."

How truly he had spoken, and how inaccurate he was.
