Blogger.com is down in China....

A new friend of mine who lives in Shanghai just informed me that blogger.com is down in China right now. She's not sure why & said this does happen intermittently. We're hoping it will be back up and running by the time we arrive in Beijing Friday 5/22. If you don't see or hear anything from us on the blog, please know the reason is that blogger is down.

Hey - there are work arounds - including e-mail! If you don't what to bother anyone in the family / friend group - and if you are feeling long on trust - you are free to e-mail us posting access to your blog and your posts and we'll be happy to help! (aussie @ fuse.net - no spaces) While we were in GZ we were able to access the 'post page' but not any of the functionality - so we wrote the posts in word then were able to copy and paste. Finally - if you have access to a good proxy server somewhere - you can log into that - then into blogger, do your thing, and then log out. Most of all remember two things - 1) That China is not the US and you have no constitutional rights while you are in country and 2) That the Internet in China is not the Internet in the West. Happy to help any way we can - aus and co.
