这个网站最近不好用了, 我们可以通过http://anonymouse.org/ 和http://www.sureproxy.com/ 等代理网站, 间接地访问blogspot的博客.

5. Set proxy URL script for firefox.

Step1: Create one .pac file, such as c:blogproxy.pac, the file is simple, just is,


function FindProxyForURL(url,host){


if(dnsDomainIs(host,".blogspot.com")){


return "PROXY 72.14.219.190:80";


}


if(dnsDomainIs(host,".blogger.com")){

}


if(dnsDomainIs(host,".wordpress.com")){


return "PROXY 72.232.101.41:80";
