  • 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.

    It has taken me too long perhaps, to write about the humiliation the Big 10, and especially Michigan's teams which suffered in Saturday's play.  At the end of all this, at least one thing was done that may see an answer to the question "WTF Michigan?"  It probably would have been enough to see the defensive coordinator removed, but in the end, it was always Rich Rod's gig, so.. Blah.

    In an interesting side note, The Michigan View has a great column that reflects on this, and its comparison to politics. in "Why we love sports, (and hate politics)," Payne compares the hate fest for failing sports programs, and the seemingly out of place support and excuse making our press gives to the politicos that suck.  He writes:

    " "Why wouldn't Rich Rodriguez be fired? In three years, he didn't win a single important game," penned Mitch Albom of the Detroit Free Press.

    Just the facts, ma'am. The guy didn't get the job done.

    Contrast this common sense sports coverage with a whole backfield full of writers, cheerleaders and excuse-makers willing to come to QB Granholm's defense. "History has yet to write whether her unflagging efforts to diversify the economy in areas like advanced manufacturing, technology and alternative energy pay long-term dividends to the state," writes Crain's Amy Lane. "She was left a bad hand by John Engler, and, unfairly, was forced to be the face of job losses in the state when. . . many of the auto industry's problems were the result of decades of gross corporate incompetence," whined MLive's Darrel Dawsey. "She must have been thinking, how things would be different if she was starting where Rick Snyder begins with the 'wind at his back,'" apologized Tim Skubick in the Oakland Press. "


    Wow.. Not so sure the wind is at Snyder's back, but if it is, then it might help douse some of the ecological insanity that Granholm has implemented in Michigan during her reign.  I don't even have a coordinator to throw blame at in this case.. more below..
