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.
How appropriate that the call for a head count be the very word which describes the event just before the GOP implodes.
To preface this, I do not give a Rats A$$ which candidate's team posted this up. As many of you may know, We have been actively recruiting delegates throughout the state of Michigan to toss the corruption from the party with prejudice. Georgia's Republican party problems are not unique, and we face the ignoring of the rules regularly in our own state as well.
Make no mistake, the technology today gives us the best opportunity to regain control over our party, but if you don't show up for the fight you cannot win.
