What might take-up of WordPress across a 40-school local authority look like?

October 2010 web server summary stats for East Lothian‘s eduBuzz.org system (visitors and page views) show that the current levels of use this year, a traditionally quieter time, are already similar to the last school year’s peak period of May/June.

The pattern each year has been similar, with usage at this time of year approximately doubling by May/June. Together with steady recent increases, this is a year-on-year growth rate of well over 100%.
The eduBuzz.org WordPress site now has 1,161 sub-sites (blogs) and 2,336 registered user accounts.
