Any Chinese WordPress-ers?

    Being one myself I noticed that there are not many Chinese bloggers on WP. Almost all my Chinese friends blog at MSN Live Spaces, which is about the #1 blogging site in China (and growing fast). That's probably why it made Live Spaces the largest blogging service. Of course, they all blog in Chinese.

    Last week a friend of mine in Beijing just told me that she couldn't get to my blog at WP no matter how she tried. My guess is wordpress.com domain is being blocked by the Great firewall of China. Perhaps that explains why so few Chinese bloggers are on here.

    I blog in English but am curious to find out about the Chinese bloggers here, whether you do it in Chinese or English.

    The Great Firewall of China makes most WordPress blogs inaccessible in that country, which is why penetration is so low. I wonder if Microsoft made a cash-based "No banning" deal?

    soooo, which of you is Chinese? ;-)))

    btw I noticed that you can actually just type in Chinese characters into wordpress.com/tag/ url, like http://wordpress.com/tag/中文, it pulls out the posts tagged with the chinese characters... kinda neat...

    I want to learn a foreign language.. I'm so educationally deprived.. *sniffle*

    I can speak four languages:

    English
    American
    Australian
    Pirate

    :o)

    LOL, rain!

    Nice twist, cornell. I can speak...

    American Casual/Slang
    American Proper
    American Ebonics
    American Redneck
    Semi-English, mostly Cockney (blame Britcoms)
    Toss in the super-easy Pig Latin for the hell of it.

    BUT.. I can also talk to computers in at least 10 different languages. :-P LOL

    I'd really like to learn Japanese and Spanish.

    I was acing Spanish in high school, but only took one year of it. They were booked up in subsequent years. Now it's been over 10 years, and I forgot all of it. I could really use the ability to speak it fluently right about now. We have a very large Hispanic population around here.

    sulz, i know...

    raincoaster, i live in America. If you're Chinese, i'm American.

    devblog, if you blog in chinese 25% of time... ...

    btw, yesterday i thought of a possible way to get around the great firewall, by using feedburner, since the feed URL would then be feeds.feedburner.com/blogname... i gotta get someone test this out... if it works i'll post in this thread
