By my crude calculations there is on average 1 comment made for every post or page. On the most popular blogs there are plenty of comments, but personally I think it would be good to encourage more viewers to comment on less popular blogs, thus increasing their popularity.
Is it possible to make comment writing easier? For example, why not mark which fields are necessary and which are optional when submitting a comment; maybe some viewers are put off by the amount of information requested.

A good deal of data to swallow. Any graphs to help us understand the significance of these data points?
Interesting to know about home page visits. Monitoring our stats, we don’t necessarily see these as separate hits. And now that we don’t see RSS reads, we have very limited data on broader reading habits.

Congratulations on another big month.
So mapped domains account for 29% of pageviews, eh? Care to tell us what % of active wp.com blogs? It’ll be rather lower than 29%, perhaps not even in double figures, methinks.

I love to post article through Firefox – ScribeFire. That’s much better than WLW and Ecto. How many people using those Firefox – ScribeFire? I wonder…
Congratz! You guys give us the best blogging platform. And free? That’s the best news so far.

Really the WORDPRESS.COM is doing a commendable job at its command. The Walled World is
collapsing and turning into an open Wall-less Gateless World. It’s not just the mere computer to computer connectivity, but the people to people connectivity and interaction, exchange and dissemination of views and visions from the minds and hearts on a timeless global scale that matters. And that job being facilitated by WordPress.com is really heart-opening. Only
live and spontaneous exchange of human minds and thoughts, the triggering of taking and transforming huamanity on a new height of consciouness and awareness on a global scale is possible.
