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.
"It's a ltttle too little."
"It's a little too late."
"I'm a little too hurt."
"And there's nothin' left that I've gotta say."
"You can cry to me baby."
"But there's only so much I can take."
"Ah, it's a little too little."
"It's a little too late."
Unlike Pat Benetar, I still have something to say.
So who is not-so subtle reminder for?
It shouldn't be very surprising when you read below the fold.
Most people here are well aware of the fact that the City of Detroit has filed for bankruptcy. Most people are also aware of the fact that Lansing has assigned an Emergency Manager to financially clean house.
Long-time readers are aware that this inevitable outcome was as plain as day to most local observers like myself, and borrowing a page from the President, want to make this as process as painful as possible to the principles involved, so that the actions which have caused it are never repeated again.
The latter isn't really making any new friends with those in charge of overseeing Detroit's Art Museum, a collection wholly owned by the City of Detroit.
With their meal ticket now in jeopardy because two of those counties aren't keen on taxpayer money going to bailout Detroit, a fact they were repeatedly warned about when the respective county boards placed this tax on the ballot, the DIA Board is looking at new ways to pull their collective fat out of the fire.
You're going to love what scheme they have come up with this time.
