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.
Had Michigan not been as close, the Democrats would have waited to spring this on us in the general election. Luckily we have it now and I hope Ohio voters are paying attention.
On the campaign trail now, Mitt Romney says the individual mandate is appropriate for Massachusetts, but not the nation. Repeatedly in debates, Romney has said he opposes a national individual mandate.
"I didn't understand his question; of course I support the Blunt amendment," Romney said on the Howie Carr Show. "I thought he was talking about some state law that prevented people from getting contraception, so I was simply -- misunderstood the question, and of course I support the Blunt Amendment."
He's tripping over himself so badly in fear of his religion coming under scrutiny in the this election it's sickening. Obama/Axelrod is going to have a field day in the general if the Repub establishment succeeds with their chosen son.
"Did you notice in Lebanon, what Hezbollah did? Lebanon became a democracy some time ago and while their government was getting underway, Hezbollah went into southern Lebanon and provided health clinics to some of the people there, and schools. And they built their support there by having done so."
Res ipsa loquitur. Let it be known right now... I will work tirelessly to derail the reelections of all those in Michigan that endorsed this flip-flopping habitual liar. Romney endorsers delenda est.
This guy will do "anything" to get the nomination. He doesn't care what damage is done, whether he tears the party apart, or what methods are used.... Note Language Warning
During the trip, the Boston Globe reported, Romney's oldest son, Tagg, looked around through the rear window and yelled, "Dad -- gross!" A brown liquid was dripping down the back window -- diarrhea from an animal that just might have been caused by the stress of being inside a cage for 12 hours on top of a car going 60 mph.
And what did Romney do, even after knowing of the dog's diarrhea? Did he realize that perhaps Seamus should be shown some mercy, cleaned up and allowed in the car, to sleep on someone's lap?
It's Friday, time for one of my favorite CCR tunes.
"I longed in many ways to actually be in Vietnam and be representing our country there, and in some way it was frustrating not to feel like I was there as a part of the troops that were fighting in Vietnam," Mitt Romney speaking to the Boston Globe in June of 2007
Yes, a fine video of Willard's Vietnam Tour De Ferment made by a Paul supporter. No rdww, I'm still not interested.
