52% of Top 100 Blogs Use WordPress

According to a report from Pingdom.com, 52 out of the Technorati Top 100 blogs use WordPress as their platform of choice, up from 48 blogs last year. Four years ago, that number stood at 32.

These numbers are somewhat affected by one organization, the NY Times, having seven blogs on the list and another organization, Wired, having three blogs on the list. That said, no one can doubt that the trend for WordPress has been an upward one.

The following chart is from Pingdom.com.

And here’s a list comparing last year’s results and this year’s results.
