As you may know, some countries do block certain websites "for the own good of their population". It is an activity other countries will call censorship. But ... how do you know if your site is blocked in a given country?
The obvious answer is to ask a local to try your site, but this system, though it works nicely if you know someone there, it may not be practical for some destinations.
Alternatively, you can use services like this one to perform a check on a website from different locations. Of course they have just a few available (some of them in China).
Next week I am going to China and while I was expecting them to be able to see our blog I realized that was not the case because all blogger.com blogs are blocked by the Great Firewall of China. Fortunately, I was able to easily move all the content to a wordpress.com blog that works nicely there.
