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.
As expected, Gov. Rick Snyder has signed a bill that could clear the way for a wolf hunt in Michigan's Upper Peninsula as early as this fall -- and influence which types of species are hunted well into the future.
....
"This action helps ensure sound scientific and biological principles guide decisions about management of game in Michigan," Snyder said in a statement announcing his bill signing. "Scientifically managed hunts are essential to successful wildlife management and bolstering abundant, healthy and thriving populations."
F'ing whaah, ya enviroloons. CS, a change of heart on the Nerd? Nope, he's still a flaccid d!*k. If only he thought the same of folks being able to legally protect themselves from two-legged predators, I may reconsider my total disdain for the stealth Democrat.
Our Michigan tax dollars at work obstructing our 2nd Amendment Rights while criminals roam freely.
Seeking to make a point about firearms, a Michigan man decided to open carry his .45-cal. handgun at his daughter's school and later uploaded the footage to YouTube. The father says he made sure to first notify the school, the Michigan State Police, the county sheriff and other local law enforcement officials that he would be exercising his right to carry a gun.
....
The rest of the man's trip to the school was seemingly incident free. He later had a conversation with the deputy about Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder recently vetoing a bill that would have permitted citizens with extra training to carry concealed weapons.
"To be honest with you, that would be better," the woman identified as a deputy says, talking about concealed carry.
Nah, deputy ma'am. The stealth Democrat Nerd knows what's better for Law-abiding citizens than even the dwindling 2012 republican majority in the legislature.
Michigan Gov. Rick Synder, who appointed Orr as emergency manager Thursday, was acquainted with Orr while at U-M. Snyder, who graduated with a law degree and MBA in 1982, reportedly met Orr during a snowball fight on campus.
This is precisely why the GOP's foisted on us flip-flopping Willard received my NOTA vote. This is also why the One Term Nerd will not be receiving my vote in '14. Tho, you have time to course correct, Governerd. Choice is yours.
