What would be more interesting to know is how many of those are actually active.

Are there any nice statistics that shows the posting frequency and that alike?

Trent | November 28th, 2006 @ 3:12 pm

Great news! Duplication in six months like blogs in Technorati? Why not

Kevin Burton | November 29th, 2006 @ 4:18 am

Now if you only had $1 per blog

Or maybe you do……

Any idea what the post distribution looks like? Are most of these just casual bloggers or do they really get traffic?

Hm.

Dirty Third Streets | November 29th, 2006 @ 11:50 pm

Shoot. I wish I’d waited a couple more days to switch over from Blogger. I could’ve been Number 500,000…

DerZeiger | November 30th, 2006 @ 5:21 am

Wow not bad. But it is no wounder, because Wordpress is one of the best weblog systems on the market. Reasons?
Its Free, easy to use, fast, a lot of functions etc.
Keep on the good work and soon the will be 1.000.000 wordpress blogs

Wordpress is not just another blogging tool. It is THE blogging tool. Congratulations and Thank you for Wordpress!

Montoya | November 30th, 2006 @ 10:49 pm

OK, really, how many of them are active? I’m really proud of Wordpress.com but I want more stats!

James | December 1st, 2006 @ 12:15 am

I am not worthy to post a comment on the blog of the founder of WordPress…but will do so anyway. Congrats! WP rocks!

Quix0r | December 1st, 2006 @ 12:05 pm

Including several thousands of splogs… But congrat anyway. And I have reported one of them to your support team. The respond and removal of that splog was within some hours. Exelent responde-time.

NorwayMartin | December 2nd, 2006 @ 1:22 pm

Congratulations to all involved. I was amazed at the extreme ease of use (before I used xoops, and before that hand-coding). Thanks for making the web an even more exciting place to be - and a more democratic one!

Brian | December 2nd, 2006 @ 3:53 pm

Great news wordpress! I’ve been a loyal user since April and I couldn’t have reached the traffic levels I’ve got on my DogBoston.com website without the ease of use (and the plugins) of Wordpress.org software… Without Wordpress, it would have been a LOT harder to get where we are today.

Congratulations and thanks for providing this great tool!

vanchisel | December 3rd, 2006 @ 7:26 pm

I’m really glad to be a part of this awesome “phenomenon”. I can’t wait to reach the “1 millionth” mark. I predict: year 2012. Thanks to wordpress for helping me put my face on the internet.

Pepe | December 4th, 2006 @ 12:23 pm

Gracias por crear WordPress. Saludos y seguí adelante.
