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 .

I've Got Your Civility Right Here

(Posted because Jason told me to...and I always do what I am told!)

I've been reasonably civil in the discourse that has taken place since the tragedy in Arizona. Good grief, even before that its been weeks since I called one of these opportunistic children of illegitimacy an opportunistic child of illegitimacy. (See how nicely I phrased that?)

All the recent calls to end the incivility of political debate are silly to the point of ridiculousness.

Let us not forget why so many raised voices became raised in the past couple of years. Health care reform was unpopular with the electorate when it was jammed through congress over protests of the American people. Why? Because politicians know better. What about producing more of our own domestic energy? Most Americans want to...they won't allow it because politicians know better. What about cap and trade? We don't want it. So, what do the buffoons in the administration do but try an end around of the checks and balances written into the constitution. They know better. On and on it goes.

If Congress and the President refuse to listen to the people, what are the people supposed to do...take up guns? I don't think that is a very popular solution.
