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.

You may remember from an earlier article of mine my assertion that 64% to 70% of the voting public is relatively clueless. These are the people who show up to the polls on the first Tuesday following the first Monday of the November of every even-numbered year, cast their votes (based on who knows what logic), and assume that they've accomplished their civic duty when it comes to determining the direction of this state and country.

On the other hand, there are those of us who have learned the truth that civic involvement in politics isn't a two month sprint held every other year. The brutal reality of the matter is that it involves a great deal of behind-the-scenes work that goes on 52 weeks a year, every year. And that there are conventions and elections, not conducted in the public eye, that set the tone and lay the groundwork for the upcoming election cycles.

Yes, our work is indeed just getting started.
