  • 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.

    Michigan's Democrat party saw its choices thin again as a result of another gubernatorial candidate inserting toes and coming out with a case of frostbite.

    In a year that will likely bring strong gains for conservatives and republicans alike, it appears there would be little gained even for name recognition by the bit players in the Democrat left.  Former treasurer Bob Bowman took one look at Michigan's finances, the party in power and said.. umm yeah.. I don't think so... From the Detroit News:

    Bowman formed an exploratory committee last week but said in his statement he was compelled to do so because he had spent over $500 in considering a bid.

    Bowman works in New York City and lives in suburban Connecticut but has a summer home in the northern Michigan community of Harbor Springs. He's also president of the Michigan Education Trust.

    But there exists nothing so compelling to bring the former Michigander back home to give it a go for the top executive office.  Who needs him anyway right?

    The Democrats are still trying to find a suitable alternative to Andy Dillon, who no longer passes the Union Leadership "smell test" as a result of his suggestions that insurance for state workers be reformed.

    Received from the Michigan Republicans:

    Lansing, MI--As Bob Bowman filed his paperwork for a Democratic gubernatorial bid, the Michigan Republican Party warns Michigan families to guard their wallets.

    "Bob Bowman is a wall street carpet bagger who is responsible for the 38-percent tax increase on Michigan families under the Blanchard administration,"  said Michigan Republican Party Director of Communications Jennifer Hoff.  "He's just another Harvard Democrat like Jennifer Granholm--look where's she's gotten us.
