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

ScoopHost.com is currently running Scoop version Undeterminable from .

86th District Court Candidates Question

Is the constitution a "living document?" NO.

Can it be amended? Changed? YES.. there is a process, but to suggest something is "living," is to suggest it grows on its own to fit its environment. See what the candidates say..

And BTW, a District Court may well have little exposure to constitutional issues according to some, but is that truly the case? Perhaps in how the law handles cases equally? Given that there are still criminal cases heard by District Courts which include misdemeanor criminal cases, preliminary hearings for felony criminal cases and most traffic violations, is there room for observation of the constitution?

If you said yes, every day.. Go to the head of the class.
