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.
Northwestern Michigan has one of the better veterans networks.
Often we have opportunities to support our overseas 'diplomats', and remind them we have their back. Our group this morning packed hundreds of boxes of care packages at the Legion Hall with Girl Scout cookies, newspaper funnies, sundries etc. This morning's affair was organized by Meredeth Allen, daughter of Jason and Suzanne Allen of Traverse City who sold close to 3000 boxes including over 1000 sponsored for this delivery.
Along with other goodies packed, were CDs donated by Singer Composer Kelly Trudell who gave a performance of one of her songs. Once again, apologies for shaky camera work. Enjoy!
