It has been a great first year with the scoop version of Washblog, and I think we are closing in on 500 registered users. We got a great core of an online community and it is growing. I bet few readers now are even aware of an
old site.
In the tradition of DailyKos, Washblog has promoted folks to be 'front pagers' - people who get to see their diary posted directly to the front page, instead of the column on the right.
These initial front pagers really helped keep the blog fresh and debate vibrant, especially earlier in the year when some serious transition was going on with myself.
Now, I think we can say that the transition period is over, so we are looking for some new bloggers to have a share of the pulpit. This time around, we have worked on some criteria as a guideline for prospective front pagers. If you are interested, send an e-mail to info@washblog.com.
Update [2006-11-17 3:53:56 by Brian]: Some folks who had front-page abilities lost them recently - that was my screw-up and not intended. The long and the short of it: I am working on fixing it so those who had it will get it back.
