Alison
When my daughter Alison was born, in the tradition of a new parent, I began to photograph her, initially in a separate and private body of work. However, in the process of documenting Alison’s growth, I developed a passionate interest in human relationships and capturing intimate moments in the lives of family and friends.
The blog platforms of choice among the top 100 blogs
We all know that Wordpress is popular among bloggers, and Movable Type as well. But HOW popular? And what other platforms are being used? To find out, we went through the Technorati top 100 blogs and investigated what blog platforms they are using. It turned out to be a highly interesting survey with plenty of surprises along the way.
As a by-product we also found out some interesting things about the more popular blog networks. For example, did you know that Weblogs, Inc. and Gawker Media together have 22 of the top 100 blogs?
When you read this article, you might want to keep in mind that we have chosen to make a distinction between blogging services and self-hosted blog software. By blogging services we mean services like Typepad, Wordpress.com and Blogger, where a third-party service is handling the blog software and hosting for you.
By blog software we mean the software you use when you set up and host the platform yourself (using Wordpress, Movable Type, etc). Now let’s get on to the data.
Overall blog platform statistics – the lowdown
Before we dive into details further down, here is a diagram so you can get a quick overview of which blog platforms (and CMS) are the most popular among the top 100 blogs.
(You can find a list of all the blogs and their blog platforms (or CMS) at the bottom of the article.)
