Saturday Morning To Do: Make Sure Blog isn't Censored in China
I'm pleased to report to all my potential mainland China readers that this blog has not been blacklisted by your country's servers and is freely available for your reading pleasure. Not that I have anything particularly relevant that you would find of interest.
For those that want to test their own blogs, go to Greatfirewallofchina.org. (DC, I'll be interested to see if your blog makes it through.)

I've had some China-based lurkers for some time now, so I think I am OK for now.
However, I learned from Taiwanese bloggers that sometimes the "lurkers" work for the PRC government (!!)... so the link is very handy, thanks!
Alas, I think it is also because I blog in English. One of these days, I might add a few Mandarin phrases to fire them up, though. Hehe. Cheaper than buying missiles (there are nearly 800 missiles in southern China, facing Taiwan 24/7)!

Somehow, my blog slipped through the Chinese censorship cracks, JD. But maybe they like my attacks on the Shrub.

DC & Lisa, glad you both made it through.

Popeye, it must be the eloquent but subversive nature of your prose.

Both of my blogspot blogs are blocked (riverfall and terrainorg), but Terrain.org is not. I suspect they're blocking blogspot in general....

Yes, except DC & Lisa above are both on blogspot. Clearly you and Popeye are suspected of running some type of deviant scheme to overthrow the Chinese regime.

Clearly; or perhaps not-so-clearly, and hence our effectiveness.
