I can't open my blog

Actually, I started this new blog nearly one month ago when I didn't know much about this new system. When I finished the resgiteration, I couldn't open my website. For example, my blog domain name was bloomingvale.blogspot.com, but I couldn't open the homepage. I used to think that the system or maybe the server was broken until I read an article which said the blog would be blocked if users were in China, India, Parkistan or Iran.

And here are the solutions to the problem:

(1) there is a website called http://www.pkblog.com/ which helps you access your blog. Go to this website and enter your blog name. That means if your blog is bloomingvale.blogspot.com, you just need to enter the"bloomingvale". Click the button "Access Now". Then you'll see your blog as www.pkblogs.com/bloomingvale.

(2) Here is the second solution if you don't want to change your domain name.

You need to download a hosts file and unzip it to the following directory C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\ And cover the former hosts file when system reminds you.

Then open the hosts file with notepad, add your blog domain name and save it. For instance, if your blog name is bloomingvale.blogspot.com, you'll just need to add 72.14.219.190 bloomingvale.blogspot.com. After saving the file, restart your IE, you'll see your blog.

But the solution is only for your computer, other people in china or other limited areas won't be able to browse your blog. So that means you need to give them your blog as www.pkblogs.com/username (For example, www.pkblogs.com/bloomingvale).

Here are the two websites where you can download the hosts file:

(1) http://www.51files.com/?L3QAB70YK1HJ98F5RYUE
(2) http://www1.51ok.com/down.do?FC22BDE6D674F78DBF90A0939D86B229

Hope this article can help you out.

My blog is http://bloomingvales.blogspot.com/ or http://www.pkblogs.com/bloomingvale
