So how does this demographic fit with age bands in the wider populations of the US, Europe etc?

I’m over 50 and have been blogging for 4 years. I think it’s easier to blog now then it would have been had I been 30 years younger… I have more diverse interests and I know more than I did then.

I am 16, very mature, and I enjoy blogging. I started at 15, and worked my way up from Blogger to Wordpress on my website. And I love it. The poll results prove the blogging ‘age range’ is vast.

I’m a 14 year old blogger too, and I mainly write about what I do and my local area.

Kept this in my active tabs becuse it’s very interesting … certainly one of the best supported surveys I’ve seen too. I started reading Problogger three years ago when I was 59 … I always felt welcome here but thought I was probably the “grandpa” of the site … wow, look at the numbers for over 60 and over 70! A very pleasant surprise to me and the numbers of still climbing. The way the groups are polled can’t tell for sure how many of the 20’s and below are under 18eeners, but the numbers will be very close to equal for teens and seniors … something I thought would be the case some years in the future, but hardly now. I’m noted for always telling people to change with theimes but it looks like I was caught napping.

And for you under 18eeners, welcome, you’ll be where we seniors are one of these days and may you have many successes along the way …and for the lady whose major problem in life is that she’s grouped with the “50s’ … be nice or we won’t let you advance to the 50+ club.

Truth be told I just wanted to be able to click on 26-30 one more time before I make the leap into the next category a couple weeks from now ;)

I’m in the range of 31 – 40. I thought blogging is for young adults but it seems that there are many bloggers in that age bracket. I wonder why?

I have to laugh. I’m 64 and some of these comments, feeling old at 43 and all, crack me up. Old is how you view it. Yes, most of my older friends don’t get blogging, fear it, snob it, or feel left behind by it. Their loss. I have more friends now in their 20s and 30s, mostly because I do long-form improv comedy (no old folks in sight there!). I’ve been blogging for fun for 6-8 years and just launched my first professional blog (I’m a fiction writing coach). It’s a wonderful era for using the computer, if you know how. I’m sure glad I didn’t miss it!

I am surprised to see that more in 31-40 than in 21-30 (combined 21-25 & 26-30)!

I’m one of the under-aged visitors of this site. I believe that most kids my age think they know everything and therefore don’t visit sites similar to this one.

It’s nice to see that the majority of people up here is older than myself :)

I had the perception that there would be a much smaller proportion of older bloggers that this poll is showing. It’s refreshing to have my stereotyped idea blown away!

It makes sense though. The longer you live, the greater the depth of experience you have to write from, and the more you have to say … potentially, depending on what you blog about of course.

I’m 56. While I’m delighted to see my age group represented, I’d be proud if there were more of us. I must confess that I’m far, far geekier than most of my acquaintances who are more or less my age. Many of them use computers at work or at home, and some even surf the internet and use e-mail, but they are not very knowledgeable about making something appear on the internet themselves.

Hey great poll! I’m 28.

My prediction that most bloggers will probably be in their 30s, maybe sharing a little with those of us in our late twenties. Either way, it’ll be close.

I just voted in the 51-60 category but I only just made it at the top end of that. That’s the beauty of blogging. It’s suited to all ages.
