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.
The recent launch of the Michigan Conservative Energy Forum comes as Gov. Rick Snyder and legislators consider updating Michigan's electricity law in 2014 or 2015.
Group executive director Larry Ward [yes, this Larry Ward] says the organization supports an "all-of-the-above" [Coal? Not so much] energy policy. He says it's time for Republicans to lead on energy policy.
Michigan law sets a 10 percent renewable power standard that must be met by the end of 2015. A recent report to Snyder says 15 percent renewable electricity in 2020 and 30 percent in 2035 are achievable. [need a Prop 3 Reminder?]
Or, howza 'bout this Snyder reminder? The MCEF... what despicable ad nauseam. His Word is to "subdue earth, have command over it, eat its critters, and have a few bonfires or be swallowed by earth" not to go breaking out knee pads and fellate it on Pelosi's Sofa.
In the spirit of all the "Bad Apples" discussion happening in the background here on RightMichigan.com, it's time to provide a field report on the Northern Michigan RINO activity of milquetoast Willy & Planned Parenthood Helen, Honorary Co-Chairs of M-LCV, currently promoting renewed Watermelon* propaganda on billboards to aid the Democrat Party in CD-1.
So, what set the cult of dirt worshiping loons off their organized collectivist rocker? Sincerity from, Rep. Benishek.
"I'm not sure how significant global warming is," he said during the debate. "I spent a lot of time in the sciences, and you know, I'm not exactly sure what's happening with the climate."
The League of Conservation Voters, which gave Benishek low rankings in its annual scorecard, responded by announcing a new billboard campaign targeting Benishek for having his "head in the sand" on global warming.
Yessirree. Droughts, shmouts, besides; Debbie can feel it when she's flying! Tolerant Leftist strike again, and damn any substance in discourse. 'Cause dammit! Al Gore's mockumentary said the earth is dying, and that big yellow thing in the sky can be taxed.

Ah, yes. This is Good Friday, which this year happens to coincide with Earth Day. Yes, that celebration of foisting upon us better living through junk science. Unfortunately, I only have so much to time to devote to all things good.
So, for all the dirt worshipers out there, I leave you with this...
