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!

WordPress has made it possible (and fun) to keep in touch with family and friends around the world. I enjoy seeing sites from Europe and Asia. Thank-you for this wonderful service!

Congratulations! Of the various blogging services I’ve used and looked at, WordPress is hands-down the best (I wish HTML were customizable, but I understand why it’s not). You’ve all done a fabulous job. Thank you.
Thank you very much for giving us all for nothing 😉
Congratulations!
but please work on Asian and Middle eastern right-to-left css edit on styles!?
Matt,
Please excuse me for being new and uninformed this sentence – “On behalf of myself, Andy, Donncha, Ryan, Podz, Toni, and Barry” you have named someone I can’t place a label on.
(1) Who is Barry?
(2) What does he/she do in WordPress?
(3) Why is Barry’s name the only name listed without a link?
Thanks, in advance, for your reply.
Well Done WordPress and everyone. GReat Job Admin..
Barry is an Automattic contractor, he helps out with the systems, and despite our best ribbing he doesn't have a blog. Actually I take that back, he does have a blog.
Barry, Andy, and I are going toobing down the Guadalupe river in about an hour, so I have to jet for a few. 🙂
WordPress is great, nice job.
