March Wrap-Up
In March we brought you P2, an awesome theme perfect for short-form and group blogging, made with love by Automatticians. Next, version 1.21 of the WordPress for iPhone app hit the iTunes Store. To wrap up the month, we celebrated the opening of our new Automattic office space in SOMA. It turned out to be a pretty fantastic party. See if you can spot the point where we ran out of cups.
Here are the stats for March (with no April fooling):
- 389,819 blogs were created.
- 423,744 new users joined.
- 5,302,257 file uploads.
- 2,993 gigabytes of new files.
- 827 terabytes of content transferred from our datacenters.
- 8,870,409 comments.
- 7,383,209 logins.
- 1,191,390,256 pageviews on WordPress.com, and another 1,118,107,804 on self-hosted blogs (2,309,498,060 total across all WordPress blogs we track).
- 1,111,892 active blogs and 21,014,074 active posts where “active” means they got a human visitor.
- 1,456,062,555 words.
Plus:
Egypt hosted its first-ever WordCamp on March 28. (Coming up in April: WordCamp China, WordCamp Hong Kong, WordCamp NOLA, WordCamp Tokyo, and WordCamp Reno-Tahoe.)
Sonin.mn, a daily digest of Mongolian top newspapers, joined WordPress.com VIP.
BuddyPress.org relaunched, built from the ground up using WordPress MU and BuddyPress.

Congrats on yet another amazing month! I tried blogging several times in years past, but never kept it up. You lured me back in when I discovered the guy recounting his daily career doing eye recoveries for cornea transplants and decided to give it yet another go using WordPress. Its been many months now and I’m still keeping it up, thanks to your ease of use and full featured technologies. You really have created a home for the world to share and I join so many others in thanking you for that.
