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 .

They were "Wide Awakes" - scores of torchbearers marching through sleepy hamlets to herald the emancipation of a people from the bonds of slavery into God-given liberty. These despised and decried champions of human freedom and defenders of American Union proudly called themselves "Republicans."

Through the ensuing decades of political triumphs, falters and defeats, we Republicans never forgot our honorable heritage - until today. Amidst the stormy present, some of our compatriots suffer from an apocalyptic intimation that America's revolutionary experiment in human freedom and self-government is over. They are wrong.

There are indeed similarities between the way a pageant winner is treated, and the way our citizens are treated when they don't capitulate. However, it goes further, and can paint quite a picture when looking at the characters who use such things to move their agendas forward, and is especially telling within the political community.

The winner of the Miss California pageant was subjected to a litmus test of the "ruling elite" during the Miss USA event, when questioned in a way that was designed to corner her into assisting the normalization of the homosexual agenda. Her answer not only surprised the judge asking it, but infuriated gays who seek a confirmation that their lifestyles are acceptable. She spoke her convictions, and was punished with a loss ("punishment" a possibility) and a campaign against her reputation, including anything that could be dug up as "proof" she was some kind of hypocrite. (the campaign a reality)
