The workaround for the wordpress works, but it doesn’t let me log in, since it uses https:// and I can’t get in. I can view my uncompleted wordpress, but I can’t log in, because of the https://.

Is there a work around?

@Morgan: You should be able to just change:

file:///C:/proxy.pac

to whatever path you can use. Simply save the proxy.pac file to your My Documents folder, and then get the full path to that folder (in relation to C:\) and format it like the above line… I don’t use XP, so am not 100% on the path, but it is likely something like:

file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/[user name]/My%20Documents/proxy.pac

Where [user name] is replaced by your user name on the PC. This, of course, assumes your My Documents (and Windows) are installed on the C: drive - if that’s not the case, just adjust the path accordingly.

@Anna: No, sorry. This hack doesn’t work for Xanga blogs.

@Jasper: You can’t login to the Wordpress.com site with this hack installed?

@Danielle: It would appear that LiveJournal is still blocked, and unfortunately this hack wont fix the block.

Forgive me if I’m being utterly clueless right now..

Silver said that China lifted the ban on Livejournal, but I still can’t access it. Since Silver said this almost two months ago, does anyone know if it’s still blocked? I haven’t tried the code yet since I’m on a borrowed computer and don’t want to screw something up. Any help? :]

Ryan, thanks a lot for the work-around! This is my first time in China and I’m glad that I’m not stuck with having to forgo access to my blog or having to deal with routing services. Occasionally, I am unable to login to wordpress, although the viewing blogs is still fine. Has anyone else encountered such a problem?

Perfect! Thank you very much, far better than using those proxy servers.
