In honor of WordPress’s fifth birthday, I’ve surveyed about 6000 blogs to see how many are running WordPress. This is the same group that I queried back in January, when I created a spider that harvested the blogs from all of Technorati’s main blogging categories.
| CMS | Count | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress | 2178 | 34.3 |
| Unknown | 1523 | 23.98 |
| Blogger | 1207 | 19.01 |
| Typepad | 340 | 5.35 |
| Movable Type | 338 | 5.32 |
| WordPress.com | 136 | 2.14 |
As you can see, WordPress dominates the known blogging platform world. From the numbers below, it looks as though most active WordPress users are keeping updated.
