I mentioned yesterday that this little blog has been banned in Red China. And we've added a little banner that announces that fact.
Well, turns out that others want the banner, too. Mrs. Jose Goldbloom of Goldbloom's Padded Cell discovered that she was blocked. In fact, all blogs at the Wordpress.com domain have been blocked. Wonder why that is.
Regardless, her site is blocked ... and so are many others. You can check your blog ... or any Website ... by going to the Great Firewall of China. (And thanks to Ogre for finding that site.)
And, if you're blocked, and if you want to add a banner to your site, here's the code:
Top right:
<div style="float:right; position:absolute; right:0; top:0; z-index:99;"><img src="http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f75/basilsblog/cnr.gif" border="0" width="150" height="150"> </div>

<div style="float:left; position:absolute; left:0; top:0; z-index:99;"> <img src="http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f75/basilsblog/cnl.gif" border="0" width="150" height="150"> </div>
You can place this anywhere you wish. For a WordPress (or wordpress.com) blog, you can put the code in a text widget in your sidebar.
If you've been banned ... in China or anywhere else ... leave a link to a post about it here. Or, if you have any other post you'd like to share, do so via TrackBack.

ReplyDeleteWhat if that Great Wall site is a Red conspiracy and encourages you to feed in URLs for the Politburo to consider banning? Anyway, "congratulations" on the ban!
ReplyDeleteSin City is not blocked... and I am insulted!
