  • 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

    ScoopHost.com is currently running Scoop version Undeterminable from .

    If Jennifer Granholm had left her governorship after two years like Sarah Palin did,
    Michiganders would have been better off.

    Granholm made a comment to MIRS news that she believes Sarah Palin is unqualified to be
    President because she left her governorship when "the going got tough."

    A lot of times politicians chime into current events as a way to deflect attention from certain issues.

    We call it "Wag the Dog".

    Bill Clinton did this to divert media attention away from Monica Lewinski coverage by bombing Sudan and Afghanistan. Pres. B.O. is doing this by sounding off about a Mosque to be built very near Ground Zero after the media began to report his economic "plan" is destroying what's left of our nation's economy, rather than helping it.

    Some times, politicians chime in on issues for the opposite effect. They want to gain attention in the media that will (hopefully) cause everyone to "forget" their earlier foul-ups. Harry Reid's comment on the aforementioned Mosque is a perfect example.  

    Finally, some politicians chime in for no apparent reason at all. The end result makes people scratch their heads and wonder how they remained in office as long as they have.

    This is another one of those stories.
