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 .

The wishes of the finest do gooders in our state will be met. We will have a smoking ban in effect.

The finest representatives were put to the test on this issue and failed. Somehow, in the test of constitutional understanding, there are few in our political system who could muster even a barely passing D-. Core beliefs aside even for "conservatives" who found their "pet peeve" to be in stark contrast to principles they had presumably held. In the end I guess its ok to tell people how to run their business, who may attend it, and now what they can consume while there.

Funny, how the end results of such interference in matters doesn't make the light of day until after its too late.. How convenient..
