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.

Ever since the Scopes Monkey Trial (about a half-dozen generations ago) the onset of postmodern intellectual elitism has steadily moved to progressively denigrate and marginalize Christianity within the public square, with the seeming goal of ultimately eradicating it altogether. Whether in education, entertainment, news media, or the courts, the God of the Bible is routinely ignored, mocked, ridiculed, or worse by the postmodern liberal elites. (This has gone so far as to have the public declaration that "God is Dead" as front-page headline news.)

All of this has happened without much by way of any effective pushback. To judge by what we read in the press or hear on the evening news, Christianity is a useless and outdated superstition that isn't good for much more than giving the common folk something to fear and providing them with some hope of salvation to cling to. The enlightened members of the intellectual elite, we are told, are above and beyond such drivel, and we should aspire to be like them.

Then again . . .
