Banned in Red China: The Banner, The Linkfest

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>

Top left:

<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.

    Here are three Irish dances for Saint Patrick’s Day by different dance companies. My favorite is the first video because it is more genuinely Irish, but you may be interested in the more famous Riverdance and Lord of the Dance videos.

  6. Yeah, my blog is banned in China, too. I have it first hand from the husband. He was in China a few months back on business and tried to access my blog. No can do there, for almost all blogs, particularly American blogs.
    There ya go.

    So the question now becomes "if she was outed by a spy in the 90's how covert was she really?"  The public may not have known, but the intelligence community did, so how effective was her cover?

    And why didn't the CIA protect her?

  33. I don't seem to be banned in China, despite having publicly called for the ouster of the communist party.

    Though, I did take that post down when the very polite gentlemen with the suits and the earpieces dropped by my house that one time.

  36. What 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!
