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.
Yesterday, in the middle of splitting the remainder of the 15 cord and preparation for the coming winter months, the wife and I ran some errands that eventually took us by the bay (I never want to take this place for granted)where we witnessed a "Life Chain" event.
I have some ideas for an original score for this, but in the meantime thought it newsworthy and relevant to the issues of the day, so have made it avialable right away. The other day, I had mentioned SB0160 will soon sign into law the ban on the horrific "partial birth abortion" practice. Perhaps we can do even more in the future.
Thank you to those who participated in this Life Chain.
