Hello! There are three commonly used rules when writing out numbers in literature.
The first one is numbers under "10" are written out as words (i.e 1-> one, 2-> two, 3-> three, ect)
The second one is if the number is representing a date, you write it in numerical form (i.e years stay in their number-forms)
The final rule is the one that applies for you is that if the number is the first word of the sentence, then you write it as a word instead of it's numerical form.
So the correct way you'd write your sentence is, "Twenty-six people posted messages to my blog in just thirty minutes."

Ayn Rand, a Russian-American writer, was the founder of the Objectivism philosophy. According to her, there is no greater goal in life than achieving happiness, that humans should live by his own effort and for his own sake, and should see selfishness as a virtue to accomplish their purpose of living a rich, fulfilling and independent life, and see altruism as a non-practical belief.
