    Does author means here anyone who has written an article ?

    Shanky, Yes, one or more articles. The goal is that making someone an author means that they’ll write more than one article, but it has happened where someone will only be able to write 1-3 articles.

    Shanky, I’m sorry. That was confusing. I meant blog posts… we hope people will do several blog posts once they become blog authors.

    Regarding becoming a blog author, I linked to the requirements at the top of this blog post. Here are the requirements: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/18105.wiki-ninjas-blog-how-to-become-an-author.aspx

    You need to author 20 articles, make 100 edits, leave 30 comments on the Wiki site, and 30 comments on this blog. And then you also need to be interviewed for the Monday interviews and you need to be known for something else (like winning awards in the TechNet Guru contests).

    Okay. I’m officially done adding in all the info! Sorry, I had some HTML bugs with this blog post, so it took awhile. If I do another one of these, I might need to strip some of the bullet formatting to make it easier.

    Thanks again to all our bloggers!
