WordPress MU

i saw on someones MU that the had a bit that said "we currently host 1234 blogs" which i thought looked rather good, how can i do that on my MU homepage? Whats the call for this function?

thanks

Something like

We currently host <?php
$stats = get_sitestats();
$tmp_blog_count = number_format ($stats[ 'blogs' ] );
print "".$tmp_blog_count." blogs";
;?>

wow, that was quick. it works great. thank you very much.

If you only want the blog count, and not other site stats, you can just use this:

<?php
$sites = get_blog_count();
?>

This function is called by get_sitestats(), along with some others. It stores (caches) the value as a site option and recalculates it if the current stored value is older than one hour.
