Blogging in China

Okay, here's the deal:

I'm able to log into the blog admin server (blogger.com) and write posts, but the Great Firewall of China is-- for some inexplicable reason-- blocking access to the actual blog server (blogspot.com). This means that I can write my blog, I just can't read it (or the comments posted).

I am experimenting with ways to get around this, including changing servers, and have had some mild success with using proxy servers to get around the firewall. I'm still not happy with it. In the meantime, I'll just try to make do with what I got.

Hopefully you'll start to see posts more regularly now--- I'm pretty much done with my travels, I'm full of stories, and am getting ready to start a more settled life in China!
