Is it just my computer or is it known that www.blogger .com is not available any longer? :-?

I've tried to read some blogs and it always redirects me, after a while I get the white error page, anyone experiencing the same difficulties or is it because I use Firefox? :conf

Take care

It may be a connection timeout. If you know how, try changing the settings to allow additional time before the software automatically stops trying to connect.

If you were in China I would say blame it on the Chinese internet police--blogger blogs have recently been re-blocked here. But unless Italy has recently suffered an extreme setback in cultural freedoms, I don't know what the answer is.

Thanks for your input, I am currently living in China and I guess thats why I cant get practically any acess on blogs, and wikipedia and a BBC News and a couple of others...I think its ridiculous all this censoring. :roll:

For Wikipedia articles you can check mirrors such as answers.com. And the BBC isn't the only news outlet, you can also go to CNN or even the news agencies' sites such as www.ap.org. Don't know about mirrors for blogs though, I don't read blogs regularly.

i have to add my gratitude as well as it seems the chinese government has also blocked my web business site for some reason! you'd think they'd have better things to do than censor some struggling dotcom entrepreneur.

i was rather depressed during my first week in beijing realising that i can't check on my web business.

many thanks...

I can access the the BBC website from Hebei, the Chinese language section is still blocked though. When I came to China the whole site seemed blocked but I checked it a couple of months ago and could get through.

That gollum wikipedia thingy is really useful, it's been very iritating not being able to access wikipedia.

On the same topic I suppose everyones seen the latest comments on China's internet regulation

As far as I know, the BBC website has never been completely blocked. I remember using it 9 years ago. What is blocked, and always has been, is the News section of the site, (along with the Chinese section.)

BBC Radio is not blocked. It is apparantly OK to listen to the news, but not to read it!

Remarkably, wikimirror has been overlooked by the Nanny! More direct than Gollum.
