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.

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.
