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

So this is how liberty dies...

to the incoherent ramblings of an elected Marxist. President Obama's speech was a disgrace and his ability to deliver it with a straight face says something about the "content of his character".

At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.

"not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office"? To whom are you referring, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Teddy Kennedy, George W. Bush? A truthful statement would have been that America has carried on in spite of those in high office. As far as I can tell there has only been one good president in the last 100+ years.

"We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents."

Really, what documents have "We" remained faithful to; surely not the Declaration of Independence. Definitely not the Constitution? Unless you can "undertake to lay your finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." Remind me again, exactly, what founding document addresses abortion, health care, public education, foreign aid, global warming, the United Nations, or any other form of social engineering on which the federal government wastes the money of their constituents?
