Front Page Posts
On Friday, September 19, 2003, Markos announced the addition of Meteor Blades and DHinMI to the front page in New guest posters. RonK, Seattle, who had started posting to the front page on April 11, 2003, continued as a guest poster until October 8, just before Daily Kos transitioned to Scoop software. Both Meteor Blades and DHinMI continued as guest bloggers after the transition.
Meteor Blades wrote sixteen posts for Daily Kos through October 13, 2003. That evening, Daily Kos opened its new Scoop site for user testing, and the next evening began the formal switchover from Movable Type, closing the old site the following morning. He and DHinMI would continue their formal guest blogging through November of 2004, joined by various other guest bloggers, after which they all became "alumni", allowed to post as they wished, while a new set of front-pagers assumed admin duties. They remain on the front page to the currrent day.
Daily Kos formally became a group blog on March 9, 2007; Meteor Blades was one of the fifteen Contributing Editors named by Markos. All of these Contributing Editors were regular guests on the front page, either from the current year's crop or one of the growing set of alumni.
