YAHOO! RIDES AGAIN AND WORDPRESS BLOCKED IN CHINA

AGAIN
Wow, talk about your poor spin job: Yahoo! released a statement saying they did not give information about journalists, now jailed, to the government but, maybe their Chinese owned majority partner (export company Aliababa) did. Duh.

And you can now add one more free blogging service to the blocked list: Wordpress.com

If you blog on any of the services below, I cannot access your site:
http://www.blogspot.com
http://egoweblog.com
http://www.blogspirit.com/
http://www.blogeasy.com/
http://www.blogzor.com/
http://www.mazeme.com/
http://www.yesblogger.com/
http://www.tblog.com/
http://joeuser.com
http://typepad.com (off and on)

Head for this previous post:CENSORSHIP for more information.

I'm confused. You can't access Blogger? But your own blog is on Blogger....??? (I'm blonde so you'll have to explain, lol)

Yeah, it'd be interesting to see how that all works out. All of this Internet censorship makes me wonder how much hacking is going on now in China.

Also, thanks for checking out my site and for the nice comments. I'll check back in sometime soon.

Wow that is really a drag! Sorry about the misfortune and hope it somehow gets cleared up in the near future. Glad you liked the Valentine's card I posted!
Peace.............

Hey, lonnie, you probably know this, but if you use google translator as a proxy, you can (usually) get to blocked sites no problem.

But then, I'm also blonde, and would appreciate an answer to writewingnut's query, too.
