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.

Washington, DC- As negotiations over the issue of debt and spending continue, Congressman Tim Walberg released the following statement:

"The President's stubborn insistence on raising taxes during a tough economic time is wrongheaded. We are still in the midst of one of the worst recessions in a generation because of the government's constant threat of the trifecta of higher taxes, excessive regulations, and runaway spending. Last week's Labor Department report showed more than 14 million Americans are unemployed, the highest number this year, and many are asking where are the President's promised jobs. Mr. President, I have the answer, and it's found in releasing the constraints on the American people and their exceptionalism. Tax increases cost jobs. A serious proposal to get our economy back on track cannot include more taxes for jobs to be created."

The highest number of unemployed. In the middle of the summer. Yet Obama thinks he is holding the cards. Frankly, I am afraid some of our congressmen believe the same, but so far have held on with pressure from home.

So what happens if the debt ceiling is not increased? Why is it important to expand our debt even further to promote a feeling of solvency? Why is black white, up down, and slow fast?

How about it experts?
