  • 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

    There Is Still Time

    For the MCSC entries.  GREAT! But what are those?

    Some of you may recall, in 2009 the wife and I dedicated $500 to the winners of a writing contest.

    The Michigan Constitutional Scholarship Contest was designed to be annual, and was going to be funded by our business year after year.  It was an effort to encourage our youth to look a little further into what is probably the best users manual ever crafted by man.  It was an effort to get the children to go beyond the established and failing curricula mandated from an agency in Washington, and propagated by disinterested tools of the labor movement.

    And we reached into our pockets to make it happen:

    "But the difference..  Its OUR money..  Its not money ostensibly being "returned to the citizens" for the payments made into the health care system.  Its not money stolen from us in the name of "investment."  It is $500 (or more)that could buy a new computer, a desk, (if you ever visit.. you'll note I built my own..) or some.. gimmicky advertising."
    But last year wasn't so good.  Business seemed to be OK, but receipts were off, and everyone had a reason to not pay their bills. (To us)  We couldn't fund it any longer. This is how it goes in business when an expense exceeds the ability to pay (psst, hey feds? A lesson here.)

    The important part below the line.
