January Wrap-Up

We kicked off the new year in style with a new theme and the launch of WordPressTV. (More themes on the way.) We also broke the two-billion mark for combined pageviews across all WordPress blogs we track. I’d say that’s a pretty great way to begin 2009. Here’s to more fun and surprises this year.

Here are the stats for January:

372,519 blogs were created.
393,836 new users joined.
4,592,097 file uploads.
2,710 gigabytes of new files.
