It will be at a very big day on WordPress today! The number of blogs will turn a sharp corner in a few hours. Look here:

What do we do? We ought to congratulate WordPress somehow.

But from me: congratulations to all you terrific folks! Hurrah! Long live WordPress!

Still growing! Now:

994,457 blogs on WordPress.com.

I think, WordPress will make the big mark before midnight…

I don’t understand?

The number is updated every hour. The new figure is:

994,684 blogs on WordPress.com.

I don’t think this is all spam. The growth rate looks like it usually does.

So actually: the big day will probably be tomorrow…

I was saying that the 1 millionth blog will be a spammer.

i’d absolutely hate it if the one millionth blog gets something special just for being so.

It won’t. Staff should be too hung over from the party to organize anything.

We should all have a little something. An interesting new feature or a thing like that. Or a bunch of new skins (themes).

Update: 994,927 blogs on WordPress.com.

What time is it in the USA? People should start coming home from work in a few hours. Then the figure jumps!

But: what can we give WordPress?? From us to them?

When I did my first local install there were less than a thousand users. When I went live it was about 2 thousand. When I registered in the forum it was about 2,500. I thought then it would be big.

The growth rate here is amazing. It is also a dangerous period for a not-so-big company because the need for extra capacity arrives before the owners can capitalise on the growth. The expenses get bigger and bigger but the influx of money is often lacking behind. I hope they have their brains and eyes on the economy as well as on it-perspectives…

Being a new member of the group I can say that this blog system is very professional and easy for users to record views and thoughts. I am glad we are helping you reach the 1 million goal. But remember, beware of the things you wish for as they may come true. ANK

Um, atthe404, you’re in the 690k-ths for user count.

Of course this makes me feel old. My blog was #18,526 and I was user #18,571. Someone from blogshares sent me the invite.

You young whipper snappers with your 1 millionth blog ID number…..

Well, – we still have to wait and see about blog no. 1 million. (Which is not the same as the number of users.)

But it will not be today, I think:

995,362 blogs on WordPress.com.
