Blogging
 
Does anyone know what "platform" or web-site I may need to subscribe to, in order to Blog from China?

I'm no expert but wouldn't any normal web-based travel blog site work? Is there something special about China specifically you're asking?

suze - China exercises web censorship. Not all sites are accessible, some are accessible some of the time and not others, or by other means (when I couldn't get to the New York Times site directly, I could access my home-town newspaper's site, which carried some of the NYT articles). Friends of mine used a normal google blog when in China, but I think they had problems at times.

I have heard that if you go on a China website you never know what your computer will pick up. Viruses and hackers.

Thanks thursdaysd, helpful as always. Obviously I did not know that. Thanks for your post.

How about this?

Lots of posts from China, so not everything is censored.
