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

ScoopHost.com is currently running Scoop version scoop-1_1-dev from 2006/08/26 20:02:04 .

There are many items on the shelf that I like to sell. Some because they provide good value by performing well at a fair price. Others because they give us little trouble and return numbers are very low. Quality makes for happy customers, and a business that provides it will see those customers regularly.

In business, customer satisfaction is proportionate to the quality of product they receive.

In our business model however, the quality of the equipment is not singularly the reason for our success. In fact, most of our business has been driven by something even deeper and meaningful. Anyone could sell the same parts or gadgets. In fact, some do, and sometimes at a discount price. Our advantage simply put, is our knowledge of the product, its use, and what we consider to be unmatched customer service.

Sometimes the people do matter.
