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.

In February 2009, the modern day Tea Party movement was born.

When it was obvious that Obama was not going to pursue a path of fiscal sanity, and the country was certain to go trillions of dollars further into debt, a spark ignited the flame, and the kettle was set. The spark, an impassioned Rick Santelli, and the kettle, an increasingly concerned nation of patriots, taxpayers, and traditional American heroes.

February 19, 2009 Santelli went on a classic rant rebuking the idea that taxpayers should subsidize those who have mortgages underwater. "President Obama are you listening?" as one of the more famous quotes. However it was "we're thinking of having a Chicago tea party in July .. All you capitalists who want to show up to Lake Michigan, I'm going to start organizing" that brought the temperature to the Fahrenheit 451 mark on the digital paper we now use so regularly.

Twitter was agog, and imaginations throughout our nation flourished. What had been [sometimes not so] quietly simmering underneath hit a boiling point. Motivated patriots in several areas around the country saw Friday February 27, 2009 as a rallying day to 'petition' the government.

And it was a verifiable success.
