Celebrating 200k
This Memorial Day weekend we’ll have a little party logo up, as we celebrate reaching 200 thousand blogs together.
On behalf of myself, Andy, Donncha, Ryan, Podz, Toni, and Barry, I wanted to thank you guys for sticking with us through the thick and thin, uptime and downtime, fast times and the slow times.
It hasn’t always been easy, but things worth doing seldom are.
When I surf the tags page and see the incredible depth, variety, and creativity of writing that WordPress.com bloggers are producing it blows my mind.
At the end of the day, it’s all about you. WordPress is just a tool — a paintbrush, a pickaxe, a megaphone. Any life WP.com has is what you breathe into it, and we’ll never forget that.
Thank you.
Now, some fun stats. In the past 10 days, WordPress.com bloggers have….
- Created 14,100 blogs
- Added 30,300 static pages
- Tagged 188,259 tags on posts
- Gotten 267,490 comments
- Written 291,000 posts
- Have 779,325 feed subscribers
- Had 6,832,322 pageviews!
Congrats!

My reaction is that of a computer-non-literate old guy who is constantly infuriated by what I perceive to be the crazy way that computers are set up by my superiors who fail to understand how non-academic thick as mud I am.
But I embarrassedly grateful all the same. I used to find an outlet doing zines for Mensa SIGs (special interest groups). Now it is the blog. Thank you clever guys (and gals?) for your stunning patience and skill.

Yes, it was a great experience. However, lets not be fooled by the growing numbers alone.
Quality is equally important. I feel like the quality of the top blogs isn’t upto my expectations. We need to be creative as well as analytic. We should get the hottest news in town, amazing innovations and creative articles for the readers.
Other than that, it is a great experience.

Btw, since there are so many wordpress.com blogs now, is this going to lead to more customization of these blogs, now that so many of them look the same? I sure hope so.
Keep up the good work, developers.
