hysterical…..
March 12th, 2007I read something recently that they’re sending kids in china away for being too addicted to the internet… heh.
March 12th, 2007Well I said it as well. Whatever China.
March 12th, 2007Delurking since I actually know the answer to this…go figure.
Most blogs are blocked in mainland China. It has nothing to do with any sort of content (Although ‘m sure there are rules for that also). I honestly think that they block any site that uses “blog” in the url. I say this because I never had a problem accessing mine when I was in there but I use Typepad so the url is different. Exception to this is Guandong where the US consulate is located. Additionally Hong Kong is also fairly open and not blocked.
So there you have it more than you ever wanted to know.

PS…I stumbled on your blog the other day when reading about the Hello Kitty sewing machine on another blog (forget now). Very enjoyable thank you for sharing.
I’m so glad you delurked and your info is fascinating! Makes a lot of sense too, although very sad. - Monica :)
March 12th, 2007Wow…shabby job of proofing there. I’m off to bed!
March 12th, 2007Ba ha…mine just said ‘available’…*BUT* there was a disclaimer underneath as to ‘why’ some url’s may be blocked . So, whatever THAT means ;)
Blah. I want the sewing machine…bad. You are TORTURING ME!!!!!!!!! ;)
March 12th, 2007my site is available in chine. nee-ner-nee-ner-neeeeeenr! :-)
March 13th, 2007Mine is blocked too…Darn Commies! There are still commies, right? ;)
March 13th, 2007Yes, I’m blocked as well. So sad, since I’m sure there are a lot of readers who would love to access crafty websites! I’ve always wondered why I didn’t have any readers from China!
