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 .

Sales is our business. The reward for knowledge of product, its use, and the abilities of the product can be quite stimulating when it arrives. Occasionally, we will make a really big sale, become excited and perhaps get a little ahead of ourselves in the celebration. For small business, unusually large transactions or major new contracts can spark new thoughts of growth, additions, and expansion.

Growth is often equated with survival in business and perhaps elsewhere..

Sometimes however, that "big score" can threaten the very existence of your business. Rather than enhance, it becomes an anchor, an albatross, a white elephant if you will. Added responsibility sans the wherewithal, or perhaps miscalculated costs can bury the dreams of the business owner who fails to calculate a little for chance, or happenstance.

A little over a year ago we were within a phone call of being out of business.. permanently.
