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.
To paraphrase Mitt Romney, "Corporations are pandering Liberals, my friend."
AYFKM? Witness ^ my last Starbucks coffee - ever. Yannow, I've always had a complete disdain for Jews like Howard Schultz who have less than total support for our Right to keep and bear arms. It is based in good reason. As they say, all politics is local. Not to mention how quickly history goes ignored by the Schultz's, Bloomberg's, and Feinstein's in this nation. Unscrupulous bastards.
A "tragedy all the way around"... What the Hell is wrong with you, Carolyn? Report the news, not your BS opinions. That 70-year-old man protected multiple lives from habitual thug criminals.
"It's sad you have all those men on the bus, and no one helped me," .. "At first, I felt remorse because I have grandchildren. If my grandchildren are out here doing what these punks are doing, they need to get the same thing."
There were no "men" on that bus. Too damn bad she didn't drop the lowlife thug. Range time, Ramona. Gun control means hitting what you're aiming at.
