Gordon's site is not blocked at all. When it is blocked, it is blocked everywhere in China. Anyway, the censor is on holiday, so pretty hard to get blocked these days. Feeling blocked is a common mental state among foreign internet users in China. Psychological help might be needed.

Fons, it's this site that's being blocked. I am surprised the censors are working this week.

Whoa! I found way to participate on this site through my feed reader.

Anyway, I'm not surprised at all that the censors are working this week. It is after all, the first week of May.

Anyway, when I try to access Simon's site, I either get an HTTP 404 error or it just loads as a blank page.

Quizas has also gone on the blip.

I even switched off my proxy to see if the site was blocked: no problem to get access.

Working well in Guanghzou...no worries.

I couldn't access this site in Yunnan Province all week.

Simon,

After my recent experience of being blocked in a middle-eastern country, I'm thinking of coming up with stickers/decals that go something like:
"Proudly blocked in "

:-)

Great idea, Nitin. Put me down for a China version.

Well, I'm still not able to access your site directly and it seems that they've found a way to block it through my rss feed reader too, because it shows up with a little "!" just like it does with the BBC.

However, I am able to arrive here through your profile on another page. Email me if you want to know where it is.

I am [not] surprised the censors are working this week

This is automatic keyword blocking; culprit seems to be your China's K. post - when that scrolled off the front page, things went back to normal (try this at home, kids, and you'll probably find that link inoperable). Since I can't load it up from Beijing, I'm not too sure what keywords, precisely, you misused...

[Posting now that simonworld is accessible after 10 minutes of blockage after trying the K link]

Wow, that's amazing. Just like zhwj said.
