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
