Interesting article in Metro the free paper available on the London Underground according to 20,000 a day start a blog by Stephen Hull (Metro page 16 January 11, 2005) the growth figures for blogs are a bit deceptive. It quotes an estimate of 85,000 blogs created every day in the UK. Many of the creators are serial bloggers, so a more realistic figure is 20,000 new bloggers start online every day - according to Lastminute.com (why they would be an authority on blogs is lost on me as well).
Many blogs are set up and then abandoned or laying dormant after a few weeks, however these car wrecks in cyber space still count into the success numbers of blogs.
