  • 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

    Action Request

    As something that should continue to be on the agenda while we have the chance, I am going to stay on the Michigan Right-To-Work issue.  The Legislature and executive office of this state will likely never be in a better position to move this corrective measure forward.

    There is no question that Right-To-Work is a part of our natural rights. Nothing says "these are MY hands" like a product produced with one's own labor and effort.  The ability to produce without the parasitical effect of false promises from labor organizations, promotes greater freedom, and choice. Freedom that is natural and ought not be at issue.

    Right now, I have a small request.

    Call (Or Email, Write) your Michigan State Representative, AND your Michigan State Senator.  Ask them if they support Right-To Work, Are Neutral, Oppose it, or 'other'.  Calling may be the quickest way, and the assistants, and legislative aides often have their positions available.  Be sure to offer your support for the record too!  Of course be courteous if they disagree, but do not be afraid to strongly assert your position of support for FULL RTW legislation (no Zones)for Michigan.  Let them know they could be heroes rather than zeroes.

    THEN email me the results to: This particular email account  I want to get an idea of who in Lansing is willing to put the state's welfare over a perceived political hot button issue.

    A small thing like making this phone call could bring Michigan back, and there truly has been no better time than now to act.

    Please.

    Budgets are falling across the state of Michigan.  It happens.  Revenues decrease in recessionary periods, and the realities of financial forecasts become vague and somewhat Picasso-ish when markets, where much of municipal pensions funds lay, become unpredictable.
