Two years

Warwick Blogs has now been running for two years, raising the interesting question of how usage in its second year compared with usage in its first year. The numbers look like this:–

	04/5	05/6
Blogs created	2,393	1,163
Blog entries	32,020	29,492
Authors	2,127	1,747
Comments	78,141	65,242
Commenters	1,804	1,530
Images	44,106	41,821

The fact that fewer blogs were created in the second year than in the first is unsurprising; in the first year, nobody had a blog, but in the second year many of the people who wanted a blog had already acquired one. The other numbers are all down slightly, but two data points don't make a trend, so it remains to be seen whether the third year demonstrates that usage is really in gentle decline, or whether it's just random noise from one year to the next.
