Yeah, it’s pretty easy to use. I’ve always been dealing with Joomla only though, but for my blog I decided to go with WordPress, as Joomla is for articles not for blogs.

I think wordpress is great! Not sure if it`s the best one, but for my use it`s perfect. I think this is the main reason why so many use it as well, it`s so user friendly. Hardly any coding, fast, a lot of opportunities.

Though my blog is hosted on WP but I will support blogspot because of the Google love for Blogspot.
When I was on blogspot getting organic traffic was not an issue for me. Every single posts got crawled as fast as you can Imagine.

It depends on what you’re referring to. Blogger may have more registered users/blogs on their hosted blogs than WordPress does. But, as far as self-hosted goes, I’m sure that WordPress has won that one, hands down.

I agree that this list will only grow in the years to come but I think we should also look at who is using WP for “regular sites” as well.

I mean WordPress is being used for so much more than just a blog these days and I bet there are some other influential sites that are using WordPress but wouldn’t fall under the “blog” category.

It would be interesting to see that list as well

Anyway, thanks for a great article and all the best.

You have to remember how valuable it is to Six Apart for some of the top blogs to be using Movable Type or Typepad.

It a promotion tool for them. It could even be argued that it would be worth their while to pay companies / people who own the top blogs to used Movable Type or Typepad. At the very least give them the top package and support for for free.

The only other blogging software I have experience with is Blogger but the flexibility and popularity of WordPress is obvious and I’m not surprised to see it take first place. Although I would have guessed that it would be over 50% already. You just don’t see too many of the others when visiting other blogs.
