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.

BIIIIIIIIG DAY today. Big enough that it required eight "I"s and full caps. If something can be happening in the universe, err, well, in Michigan, then it is and it is happening today.

First and foremost, it is an election day. If you're reading this, the polls are open and you haven't yet, stop everything you're doing and go vote. There are tax hike proposals in seemingly every city, township and village in the State and far left extremists running for just about every school board seat available anywhere.

No, seriously, go vote. We'll wait...

Back? What took you so long? If you're in Detroit we already know it wasn't long lines, so don't try that excuse. The Detroit News reports this morning that a measly fifteen percent of the registered voters in the D are expected to cast a ballot today to elect the city's next mayor. Suppose that's what happens when you get a race between a pair of Democrats who are much more alike than they'd have you believe. Don't give the voters a choice then don't be surprised when they don't bother showing up to make one. Not even the 200,000 phantoms on the books.

Meanwhile, an hour and a half to the west, the Granholm-Cherry administration is set today to unveil their sweeping, shocking, devastating, budget-balancing spending cuts. Except that they aren't sweeping, they certainly aren't shocking, the Dems' core constituency won't be devastated and they don't balance the budget.

Other than that, though, the administration is pitching a perfect game.
