Readers of this blog who are in China aren’t able to receive it . . . as yet again TypePad is blocked in China:

We’ve become aware that all TypePad sites are currently being blocked in China, similar to the block put in place last year. We discovered the blocking in the same way that most of our TypePad members did, by hearing about it from readers in China. Until access is restored, the only recommendations we can make for workarounds is to use any web proxies which are available for routing requests to TypePad through another site. In addition, third-party services for processing syndication feeds aren’t currently being blocked, so if you’re using another service to enhance your TypePad-published XML feed, it’s likely the feed will still be available to audiences in China. To be clear, the availability of TypePad-powered sites in China isn’t something we have control over, but we do hope that full access is restored quickly, as it was last year.

I’m sure it isn’t personal . . . but it certainly does suck. Most likely it’s the political sites that have gotten this or that bureaucrat’s panties in a bunch so everything is getting blocked . . . again.
