  • 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

    From the Official Call:

    There shall be a meeting of the duly elected Precinct Delegates and the At-Large Delegates to the County Convention at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, January 10, 2011 at the Western Michigan University Conference Center in Grand Rapids (200 Ionia Ave SW, Grand Rapids, MI - 49503).

    The purpose of this meeting shall be to elect Delegates and Alternates to the January 28 & 29, 2011 State Convention to be held at DeVos Place in the City of Grand Rapids.  The purpose of the State Convention is to elect district and state party leadership.

    Only Precinct Delegates elected at the August 3, 2010 Primary Election, the most recent Republican nominees for County and State legislative offices, and Precinct Delegates seated on a permanent basis at the August 2010 County Convention will be seated and considered eligible to vote at this convention.  We will be using an apportionment method based on the 2010 General Election results for the Secretary of State by district.

    My report on the convention follows the break.

    The Survey Monkey Strikes Again

    You may remember from an earlier article of mine my assertion that 64% to 70% of the voting public is relatively clueless.  These are the people who show up to the polls on the first Tuesday following the first Monday of the November of every even-numbered year, cast their votes (based on who knows what logic), and assume that they've accomplished their civic duty when it comes to determining the direction of this state and country.

    On the other hand, there are those of us who have learned the truth that civic involvement in politics isn't a two month sprint held every other year.  The brutal reality of the matter is that it involves a great deal of behind-the-scenes work that goes on 52 weeks a year, every year.  And that there are conventions and elections, not conducted in the public eye, that set the tone and lay the groundwork for the upcoming election cycles.

    Yes, our work is indeed just getting started.
