May Wrap-up
Another day turns into another month and brings us another wrap-up post. I’m currently in a remote undisclosed location but nothing could stop me from blogging to you. It’s not all bad — here’s my desk at the moment:
What more could you need?
Here’s the action from last month:
- 221,343 blogs were created.
- 245,156 new users joined.
- 2,638,958 file uploads
- About 1,074 gigabytes of new files.
- 417 terabytes of content transferred from our datacenters.
- 3,415,871 posts and 1,120,407 new pages.
- 5,862,782 comments.
- 4,865,114 logins.
- 693,555,035 pageviews on WordPress.com, and another 441,241,199 on self-hosted blogs. (1,134,796,234 pageviews total across WordPress blogs we track.)
- 71,351,276 pageviews in RSS feeds.
- 965,041 active blogs, where “active” means they got a human visitor.
- 156,693,165 unique people visited WordPress.com-hosted blogs.
We introduced some cool stuff in May including the Monotone theme, Identicons, a new admin bar, and threw a bitchin’ party to celebrate WordPress’ fifth. What’s in store for June? I don’t know, but it’ll be hawt.

Jun 2nd at 4:12 pm
Life is hard, no?
Jun 2nd at 4:19 pm
The cat sure looks glad to be at work with you.
Jun 2nd at 4:35 pm
It’s a tough, tough job Matt. So glad you have the servants fan you when you’re out in the hot sun.

I’m guessing Greece or Turkey, but was the cuddly cat extra?
(Ha! it IS Greece; since you’re in the neighborhood, come by and say hello.)
Jun 2nd at 6:44 pm
I was not impressed with monotone – did anyone win anything for trying it?
Jun 2nd at 6:46 pm
i’m a new user \o/
Jun 2nd at 6:54 pm
Nice location. The cat seems to be enjoying it…
Jun 2nd at 7:06 pm

Jun 2nd at 7:22 pm
Hi Matt!! That picture, hımmm, I am jealous about you now. Sun, sea, drink, food and a laptop. I wanna to die! Zeynep xx
Jun 2nd at 7:24 pm
Pool is okay too!
Jun 2nd at 7:32 pm
Great, Matt. I loved the Monotone theme and devoted an entire blog to artsy hippos: http://lingapotamus.wordpress.com
Jun 2nd at 7:44 pm

Congratulation
Jun 2nd at 11:26 pm
Waw! fantastic statistics
Jun 2nd at 11:48 pm
Hey, enjoy your break Matt but I question this. How came there are more new users than new blogs?
Jun 3rd at 12:12 am
I love WordPress! Since launching my blog http://www.MichiganSweetSpot.com I’ve recommended WordPress to several friends and clients. All have been very happy with WordPress. I’ve noticed that since the changes you made in May, my web traffic has increased. Thanks!
Jun 3rd at 12:52 am
I have to say, I enjoy Identicons more than anything. They make (my) posts look much more interesting and involved. I know it seems like a little thing, but anonymous comments looked… well, boring until Identicons. Keep up the great work, guys!
Jun 3rd at 12:52 am
Wow.
Nice going for WordPress.
:]
Fascinating stats!
I’m proud to be part of them.
Hahaa.
Jun 3rd at 12:55 am

Nice kitty.
Jun 3rd at 1:46 am
You rascal! Watch out for mosquitoes.
Jun 3rd at 2:00 am
Statistics are the awesome!
Jun 3rd at 2:11 am

Good luck more to wordpress!
Jun 3rd at 2:27 am

Jun 3rd at 4:54 am
Great Status, but a little jealous of your desk location.
Jun 3rd at 5:27 am
wow!
Jun 3rd at 5:28 am
Very impressive. Two years ago, WordPress opened a new world for me. In August ’06, you found one of my posts and mentioned it on your blog. The reaction was incredible. Then and there I learned the power of blogging.
Thanks, Judy Rose (www.writingenglish.wordpress.com)
By the way, maybe I shouldn’t mention it, but your “office cat” is sleeping on the job.
Jun 3rd at 5:28 am
congratulations fr finland;)
Jun 3rd at 5:40 am
Congratulations, Matt! Those are some awesome figures. I migrated to WordPress in December and have fallen in love with my platform and the company. You rock!
Jun 3rd at 5:48 am
Congratulations! As a new blogger…. I am impressed and feel like I just joined this big movement, party, celebration!
Jun 3rd at 5:55 am
Hurray for WordPress!
Jun 3rd at 6:12 am

Jun 3rd at 7:19 am
Greece?
Jun 3rd at 7:22 am
Great work. How about a widget that would add a reddit button to your posts, similar to what you have going with Digg?
http://www.reddit.com
Jun 3rd at 7:58 am
The statistic are growing in each of every month……
Hope that it will be more space to write in here…….
hihihihi…..
Jun 3rd at 8:01 am
That’s a relief, I read the title WordPress “may wrap up” as WordPress “may be shutting down*….
It’s ok I can relax now
Jun 3rd at 8:12 am
You guys rock! Keep up the good work.
Jun 3rd at 8:19 am

That’s a lot of status. Maybe we will see a trillion blogs in the not-to-distant future.
Jun 3rd at 10:30 am
Arrrgh, that was what I was doing last week. And I even left back the laptop. A sole PDA was all I needed.
You, Matt, on the other hand seem to need a veeery thin Mac
Enjoy your time there…
Jun 3rd at 10:50 am
Hebat!!! Sukses Selalu Matt

See that cat, Matt!
Matt uses the laptop; the cat, iPhone. Kewl!
Jun 3rd at 10:54 am
Hi Matt, I admire your vacation desk; it is well deserved. The resort looks mountainous, and by the way, what is your sleeping cat’s name?
Jun 3rd at 11:05 am
These numbers speak more than words could ever !!
Keep it up WordPress !
Jun 3rd at 11:33 am
Quite stunning numbers
Jun 3rd at 11:57 am
