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.

Some thoughts about today

Election day is finding polls busy.

At least here. Lines are out the doors.

I am feeling upbeat. Started this morning about 5am, and made a quick stop at the fix it center for signs to fill in the empty spaces on our 400 feet of frontage on a busy road. I played the good Republican and there isn't a candidate missing from the stretch, along with at least 6 or 8 of my own signs in the mix.

The good Republican. Being supportive of our slate of candidates. Oh so willfully advocating the selection of these characters in a play of political theater who could after tomorrow, turn their backs on our trust, and do what has been done for too long, and burden us with a bigger government. It could happen.

Fool me once, shame on you.. Fool me twice?

I realize this is not Michigan "centric," but it is worthy of note. Many of you get the emails saying a bill is being held up, (I know I get them from both sides)and this might make it a little clearer what could be going on.
