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.

~ RE-POSTED From jennerationx ~

The fight the people of this nation are in to change the make up of Congress and install Conservative Leadership, is crucial to this nation's survival. That's why I am so excited that another conservative icon has endorsed Dan Benishek for Congress.

Erick Erickson, the Editor-In-Chief of Redstate.com, is highly regarded as an influential activist and a plain-spoken conservative who is able to articulate in writing the thoughts of so many concerned citizens.

On RedState's front page this morning:

Dan Benishek is in a fight against everything we oppose. His "Republican" opponent has sold himself out to the unions and they love him. Between freedom and tyranny, Dan's opponent has routinely sided with the tyranny of unions that want to impose their ways of not doing business on you and me.
This is a Hoffman v. Scozzafava race and it is within a Republican Primary.
We need to support Dan Benishek. The alternative would be too much.

Yes, in fact it would be devastating. The alternative is Jason Allen, who is right now benefiting from the serge of some tea party influences for another candidate. The tea party organizers have decided to endorse candidates, and in many instances that has hurt Stillings, the candidate in question. But the fact remains that the votes for the tea party endorsed candidate would be a vote for Allen, a liberal Republican with ties to every big government attempt to attract business to Michigan in a most egregious pattern of crony capitalism.
