Since we launched it in January, Blogging Students has been a rip-roaring success, attracting record numbers of readers and making a huge impact on the social media, especially Facebook.

These are the top three blogs so far:

• Why have drug users become so reckless? on 93,000 page views

• Why you shouldn't do postgrad, with 85,000

• And What will you do if you get a 2:2?, currently on 83,000 and still growing.

Those who've written blogs for the series have benefited in several ways: they've got their own contributor page on the Guardian, which is a boost to their CV. If they've joined in the comments on their blog, they've got a C (for contributor) tag next to their name which accompanies them all over the Guardian site.
