200,000,000 Posts… and Counting
This month we passed an impressive milestone: 200,000,000 posts have been published on WordPress.com.
Does this number surprise us? Not at all. Because we’ve long known that you — our users — have an infinite amount of things to share with the world. From posts about your struggles with life and death, your favorite hobbies or your simple yet touching thoughts of the day, you are who we have to thank for helping us become the success we are today.
Onward and upward. And if you’re curious to know more about our stats, you’ll probably enjoy this page. Happy blogging!

200,000,000 is a lot of posts — how many words is that? I don’t see that stat on the stats page.
June 18th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
Congrats!!! That’s more than I expected.
June 18th, 2010 at 5:38 pm
You’re welcome and thank you for providing us a platform to write our posts. Many of us have improved our writing skills and thinking processes while writing and reading through many of the blogs. A great achievement, and thank you to everyone.

:O thats a lot
June 18th, 2010 at 5:39 pm
It’s good to feel apart of something so big!
June 18th, 2010 at 5:39 pm
That is fantastic! And it doesn’t surprise me in the least. I love WordPress!
You are always ready to fix problems when they arise, and before things really get a chance to break down and spiral out of control. It’s very comforting to know that one’s creative writings are safe.
And you keep coming up with unusual themes and interesting widgets, so it’s no wonder that you have so many adoring fans and loyal supporters!

I think you folks are successful, for many reasons. For one thing, you folks are always so kind, so informative, and so available to help. And where else, and really, where else can anyone find a place like this to write, and share their thoughts? The resources you folks offer, in theme templates, to keeping track of ones writings, to all the hundreds of resourceful tools, is beyond me. But, I so appreciate you, and your “brain child.” Mr. Matt….It makes me ever so grateful that I stumbled here. I love you folks, and pray God bless you all. Elena Ramirez

Was I the 200,000,000th poster? And if so, what did I win?
I’m thrilled to be a part of the WordPress community!

There should have been some virtual balloons and Flash confetti…
Congratulations WordPress!
June 18th, 2010 at 5:41 pm
WordPress is a great place to start a blog. It’s pretty easy to use and provides a great forum for information, opinion, and commentary.
June 18th, 2010 at 5:42 pm
I don’t think Aldous Huxley would be surprised either (Cf. http://bit.ly/6c2aT).

Oh, WordPress. Congrats and thanks for linking to my post even though it is a rather sad day for me.
June 18th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
Congratulations to all of us! Couldn’t wordpress provide a ranking for each of the 11 million blogs it hosts regarding visitation and comment traffic? This would be highly useful to bloggers in guaging the peformance of their blogs. Something like what Technorati and Alexa do?
Also, when are you going to give all blogs the facility to post icons like for Digg so that each post can easily be favorited and publicized by readers? Doing so might well drive the number of posts and the traffic even higher!
June 22nd, 2010 at 9:40 pm
Thanks for your feedback.
June 18th, 2010 at 6:12 pm
Congrats, WordPress!!

June 18th, 2010 at 6:13 pm
Wow, that’s a massive number, but I’m not suprised!
June 18th, 2010 at 6:18 pm
Wow. It’s good that people are sharing this much but, how crazy is it that we’re all competing for the attention of readers?
Amazing!

June 18th, 2010 at 6:21 pm

June 18th, 2010 at 6:24 pm
WP has changed my life! The amount of pure freedom I now have is absolutely priceless! WP deserves the Nobel Peace Prize!
June 18th, 2010 at 6:27 pm

June 18th, 2010 at 6:30 pm

June 18th, 2010 at 6:58 pm
Phenomenon! What a powerful way to let peoople to connect with people.
June 18th, 2010 at 7:08 pm
I’ve been using WordPress since 2007 or 2008 (hard to remember) and I never thought it would become this popular. It’s great to know that all WP bloggers worked together towards this goal… without even knowing it!
Hopefully, we’ll reach 300,000,000 in the future?
By the way, the blogger with the “200,000,000 post” should get a shout-out. I’m really curious to find out who did it. I’m imagining that it’s a post on sports.
June 18th, 2010 at 7:09 pm
That is truly unbelievable! Bravo to all the writers. Yes, curious what the 200,000,000 post was..? It is great to be apart of creativity. Cheers!
June 18th, 2010 at 7:19 pm
Only 200,000,000 posts? What a bunch of slackers we are! Come on, lets get cracking on the next 100,000,000!
Nice job everyone heheheheheh
The scientifically impossible I do right away
The spiritually miraculous takes a bit longer
June 18th, 2010 at 7:22 pm
Wow! That’s a lot of words. I love WordPress… it’s helping me to make my dream a reality.
June 18th, 2010 at 7:44 pm
A red-letter day and all because of you and us! A social networking space for humans to share those little bits of time we have available with all the other events tugging at our lives. Congrats WP – glad to be of some service. Will there be an award given? Seems like there should be.
June 18th, 2010 at 7:45 pm
I am very happy with wordpress as a blogging site. Previously I was using blogspot, but I love the templates and look of wordpress, and the wordpress community is great!
June 18th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
Congratulations! Very impressive stats…especially compared to my measly 2,000 visits. LOL

June 18th, 2010 at 8:31 pm
That’s amazing and WordPress speaks for itself…..loudly in a terrific way! Congrats to the entire WordPress community a.k.a. – family.
June 18th, 2010 at 8:54 pm
Congratulations WP and WP community
Let’s keep it going, heh.
Portugal is 3rd on the list and Spain in 2nd taking over 15%, that’s quite impressive considering portugal is pretty small compared to other countries, heh
June 18th, 2010 at 9:00 pm
Congrats to reaching a great successful milestone.

June 18th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
Yay WordPress! I’m proud to be a part of this! WordPress is wholeheartedly amazing.
Here’s to hitting 1,000,000,000…
June 18th, 2010 at 9:44 pm
It’s like that song, “500 Miles” because it never ends. Can you hear the incessant chatter of keys hammering out the next post heading for one billion?
June 18th, 2010 at 9:46 pm
Love Word Press and they’ve certainly helped me with my blogs. I feel a part of the Word Press Nation. Thanks!
June 18th, 2010 at 9:57 pm
Word Up WordPress!! That’s awesome and I agree with Pulkit you should make a big deal about the 200,000,000th post…give them some love on their site or something. Congratulations.
June 18th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
You should give a prize to the poster of the 200,000,000th post. Who was the 200,000,000th poster anyway?
June 18th, 2010 at 10:10 pm
Thanks, WordPress, for the resources you provide for my blog. I have a nice setup going and it’s becoming more popular every day!
June 18th, 2010 at 10:15 pm
That’s all?
June 18th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
Thats a lot of BS flying around the Internet!
Joking….
June 18th, 2010 at 10:48 pm
200 million! I’m impressed. I’m glad to be part of this wonderful family and if you asked me, YES, I have definitely impacted some people reading my posts on my blog. Thanks to you, guys. I’ll keep on blogging!!! Yeah!!! Cheers !!
June 18th, 2010 at 10:52 pm
That is an impressive number. It’s so impressive that I don’t even know how to say it. I’d like to see it written in longhand. I’d also like to receive that much in a weekly paycheck.
Cheers,

June 19th, 2010 at 1:11 am
I’m glad to see the verbiage was corrected from the e-mail I received:
“200,000,000 Million Posts… and Counting”
Because I think that would be 200 trillion.

WordPress provides a great platform for orators like Thomas Jefferson and others would they still be here. Keep up the good works!
June 19th, 2010 at 3:16 am
Congratulations on crossing the mark of 200,000,000 posts. Is it possible to consider to share ‘ a very tiny portion of your profit’ proportionately,with those blogs that have got more than 100,000 visitors (since you do not permit any ads)?. Am I sounding too greedy?? But 100,000 hits for my blog http://badaga.in , focused on a very small community in Southern India, is an achievement I feel. Thanks for the platform to perform.
June 19th, 2010 at 3:25 am
So great to be part of something so big and to contribute : )
June 19th, 2010 at 3:37 am
I’ve just begun. So my contribution is very small right now. But as long as I can write a little every day, it shall grow. I’m currently writing a Sci-Fi Mystery; Shadowcasters – The Abductors. I welcome feedback, and input, but don’t ask me where I’m going with this story. You’ll just have to keep checking back to see. It’s got a Huge Twist.
June 19th, 2010 at 3:38 am
200 of those posts are mine! Im so proud to be part of your system.
June 19th, 2010 at 4:00 am
Omg!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s rlly a lot of posts………
June 19th, 2010 at 4:02 am
That is really nice.. WordPress is the best!

Enough to fill the entire landmass of the Philippines!
June 19th, 2010 at 4:49 am
Congratulations. You guys have done a great job. Good Luck for the future.
June 19th, 2010 at 4:51 am

even though i know WP is well loved (i am one of those), i still couldn’t help myself say “W..O..A..W…” when i saw the magical number…
i :heart: WP! rock on, guys and gals! (:
June 19th, 2010 at 7:04 am
It is amazing! Congrats! I love WordPress!
June 19th, 2010 at 7:06 am
Congrats.
There will be one more zero soon.
June 19th, 2010 at 7:13 am
BTW 41 posts done by me
June 19th, 2010 at 8:02 am
Thank You WORDPRESS! You are a “Phenomenon”. The only disappointment was that I have to web-host my blog or have a domain n then I would be able to install WP client. Installing client gives me a feature to install widgets/plugins as “Share/FB-Like/Tweets”. I now have to register myself onto NetworkedBlogs to have the same feature.
I wish there was an option as in case of Blogspot where they could have FB-Like buttons configured on their blog posts without web-hosting or buying a domain. An FB-Like ensures more traffics and ur blog posts getting popular and reaching far and wide.
My only disappointment – Please provide me a facility for integrating FB-Like button on the web access.
