Steve Gilliard Comments

From dKosopedia

Steve Gilliard (November 13, 1964 – June 2, 2007) was a freelance journalist and left-wing political blogger who ran the website The News Blog. Before he created that website, he was a commenter and guest poster on Daily Kos.

This page only contains information about Steve Gilliard's blog commenting on Daily Kos; for additional information on his writing see the main Steve Gilliard page.

Commenting on Daily Kos

Steve's first comment on Daily Kos was on October 1, 2002, responding to Markos's diary from September 30, NJ Dems have GOP boxed in; the comment thread link is here, and it was signed sgilliard. Subsequent comments were signed steve gilliard through April 24, 2003; on April 25 his signature changed to steve_gilliard (though he tried the underscored version on six comments the evening of March 2). He was still using this final form for comment threads on The News Blog in 2007.

List of Comment Links

When Steve started commenting at Daily Kos, the blog was using Movable Type software. Markos was the sole blogger, and comment threads popped up in a separate window. The Movable Type site has subsequently been archived at DailyKos.net, and all links are to that archive.

In the archive, direct links can only be made to individual front-page posts, and to the comment threads of those posts. Only the entire thread can be linked to; there is no way to link to individual posts. So, once you bring up a comment thread in your browser, use the search function to find "gilliard". This will find all of Steve's comments, plus some direct references to those comments or questions to Steve.

In the list of comments below, the date given is the date the particular front-page post was made; it is possible, as in Steve's very first comment, that the actual comment was made the next day. (In the case of his comments to the December 31 diary, they were made the next year.)

The person writing the original front page post is assumed to be Markos; if there was a guest blogger that day—Billmon, Steve Soto, or RonK, Seattle—that blogger will be named. The open threads that Steve Gilliard created are credited to him on this page; if uncredited, open threads are also assumed to be set up by Markos.

Note that comments attached to Steve's own front-page posts are not listed on this page. Links to those comments will be found on the Steve Gilliard Posts page.

July 2003

July 1:

July 2–31: Movable Type comments were shut down on July 1, 2003 at 5:01 p.m., and HaloScan comments were brought up in their place as a temporary measure on July 2, 2003 at 11:48 a.m. Unfortunately, due to problems setting up the first Daily Kos-owned server, Movable Type comments were not restored until August 16, 2003 at 9:44 a.m.; hence, any comments made by Steve under HaloScan from July 2 through early morning on August 16 have been lost. His many blog posts are still extant.

After August 20, 2003

Comments posted by Steve after August 20 and until the Movable Type (archived) Daily Kos site was shut down on October 15, 2003, will be added as their links are retrieved from the archive. As this is a labor-intensive process, the task will take weeks or months to complete.

Links to Daily Kos comments on current site

Here is a link that will let you can find the 1200 comments Steve wrote on the current Daily Kos site (Scoop-based; opened October 13, 2003). He wrote under two accounts: stevegilliard (userid 1565) accounts for the bulk of them (1150), from October 16, 2003—the day after the Movable Type site closed and was archived—to January 19, 2007, but in 2004, he created steve gilliard (userid 9795) and used it to write 50 comments in a two-month period between April 14 and June 13, 2004, during which the first account wasn't used. Fortunately, a single search can get links to all 1200 comments, though it will take approximately half a minute to complete and the links will only display 50 at a time:

If you wish, you can search under each account separately:
