Blocked in China Again

This is really a test to see if I can post fine. Blogspot blogs have been blocked in China in the past, and in fact were last time I was here. The difference this time is that Blogger is also blocked, and must similarly be accessed through a proxy--I neglected to get a VPN this year, it would have been $40 well spent 8 months ago, but with GLadder I don't really feel it's necessary.
