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

I always thought it unfair when the veterinarian would call the dog an "IT" after that procedure .. You know the one .. where fido becomes a good boy?

He would never be quite the same. Neither female or male, his quite-literal lot-in-life made quite neutral (or neuteralized) from a masculine sense. Poor fella. I suppose however, that's a dog's life. But now, the Democrats would like to take centrist and moderate Republicans to the political operating room and de-ideogender them as well.

That is what your supposed to do with your best friends, right?

It never fails. Whenever a Democrat administration of Democrat leaders are in trouble politically, people like the 'No political identity' folks come out in signage, press release, and radio advertising. They reach out to the poor unappreciated Republicans who have been inundated with media descriptions of political extremism from the dastardly 'right'; those villains of uncompromising principles who simply don't understand a good middle of the road strategy when they see one, or have even lived through one for 5-6 decades. Indeed, its a tough road holding up an extremist milquetoast banner.

This time the Bloomberg blessed "No-Labels" group, ready to defend the failure of the lefties in congress and the administration by confusing the issues with what is the source of the problem. They are trying to intimate that standing in a particular camp and calling oneself a Republican or Democrat is the actual problem facing America. That there is a problem with identifying with a political party that more closely represents the views of a member.

Heaven forbid anyone does THAT! ~ continued below ~
