  • 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 a press release

    McCormick's Primary Opponent Dredges Mud

    New Boston, MI, July 30, 2010- A letter from a New Boston candidate to voters in the 23rd District is claiming that Matt McCormick does not have as good a voting record in local elections as his major opponent does.  The letter further indicates that the reason that the negative campaigning is taking place is due to robo-calls from a bogus Tea-Party group that were sullying the voting record of other republican candidates.

    Matt McCormick was asked if he was behind the robo-calls in June and early July:


    "I told the candidate's dad that I didn't have anything to do with the robo-calls and I even offered to help find out who was.  There are a bunch of these Democrat planted tea-party groups cropping up.  I figured it was one of them.  Shoot, I've been a tea-partier since the beginning and I realize that our name has been co-opted by Dems.  My buddy Chet Zarko helped to rip the lid off this liberal politicking."

    Now that his opponents in the 23rd are going negative McCormick feels confident.
    "Apparently they know they're way behind and they're forgetting the Reagan 11th Commandment. Don't lie about other Republicans."

    The 23rd Michigan House District includes: Brownstown, Woodhaven, Grosse Ile, Gibraltar, Rockwood, Flat Rock, Huron Township and Sumpter Township.
