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.

ScoopHost.com is currently running Scoop version Undeterminable from .

Post 9/11, for a couple months, the United States was a country of love, a country of support, and a country of patriotism. Prayer vigils were being held, churches were inundated with new congregants, and our military was held in high-regard. It was not uncommon to see a man or woman in uniform being thanked for their service.

The tides have shifted and it breaks my heart - our military is being portrayed by liberals, actors, and the drive-by media as basically terrorists. Never do we hear the stories of soldiers saving lives. Never do we hear about their humanitarian efforts. Never do we hear how the United States military is making our world a cleaner, healthier, and safer place. Even more so, rarely do we hear the stories of soldiers who have returned home from active duty.

While the loony-toon-left continues to undermine our military, I thought it about time to recognize those who put themselves in harms way.

This week I spoke with a friend of mine, Corporal Sheryl Verhulst, who has since returned home from active duty. Sheryl is not only actively involved in our armed forces, but she is also involved with the College Republicans. She does her best to stay active regarding many conservative causes. Her life story is truly inspirational.

The interview is as follows:
