YULBlog Analysis

In moments of boredom over the past few days I’ve been going through all the blogs on yulblog.org to see what blogging platforms people are using. The result is the graph below.

Notes:

I didn’t visit every single site. For example most of the blogger/blogspot sites I determined just by looking at the URI, so some of them are probably old or broken.

There are three Chatelaine blogs on yulblog. Apparently Chatelaine uses WordPress.

Apparently I can spot a WordPress blog with a fair degree of accuracy, even without any “Powered by WordPress” hints. DotClear had me confused occasionally though, they are suspiciously similar to WP blogs.

There are some very beautiful blogs in Montreal, but there are some hideous ones too.

This guy uses the same theme as me.

Someone still uses Xanga. Amazing.

I actually really like Quilm, but I had trouble getting it to work right. I wound up using a theme called NetZero or something, and it had a few bugs but I liked it enough to go to the effort of fixing them. I like what you’ve done with Quilm, though!

Thanks! Your theme looks similar to a theme I used for another site, I like that style but I was looking for something more fluid here.
