The majority of the world’s top 100 blogs are using WordPress, according to a new report from Pingdom<\/a>, and the content management system’s share of these blogs is on the rise.<\/p>\n

According to the firm, 51% of these blogs are using WordPress, up from 48% a year ago.<\/p>\n

To come up with the top blogs, Pingdom looked to Technorati, which is famous for its annual State of the Blogosphere report, which has transformed into the “Digital Influence Report<\/a>“. It’s worth noting that Pingdom was only able to identify the platform in use by 94 out of 100 sites.<\/p>\n

\"WordPress\"<\/center><\/p>\n

As you can see, the next largest piece of the pie comes from custom systems, followed by Drupal, N\/A, Gawker, BlogSmith, Movable Type, TypePad, Blogger, Ceros, Joomla, and Tumblr.<\/p>\n

Considering Tumblr’s rising popularity in recent months, it’s interesting to see it carry such a small percentage here (1 site).<\/p>\n

TypePad has increased from two sites to four sites, while Movable Type decreased from seven to four. Drupal dropped by one site. Google’s Blogger gained one site, reaching three.<\/p>\n

Here’s the list of blogs, and which platform each uses: <\/p>\n
