New Chinese blog
I have decided to give writing a Chinese blog another go. It ain’t easy – my first attempt had the misfortune of being marooned on Blogger, which is behind the Great Chinese Firewall. I wanted to start a blog on blogtown.co.nz after seeing the decent blog that Chris Waugh puts out. However, I quickly received the rude message that Blogtown is only available to New Zealand residents – what a crock of shit! Those Kiwis are something else.
Of course, I also thought about starting a Chinese blog on the most popular Chinese blog sites – Sina, Sohu, etc but I was scared away by the ugly look of the blog templates and the stories of how such companies are helping the Chinese government to implement censorship. The most convenient option would have been starting up another blog on Blognow, but I seriously doubt this site’s ability to display Chinese characters.
I eventually came across Footyblogs.com when reading Every Day is like Sunday. Most of my neighbours are sites selling cures for herpes or spruiking internet dating, but Footyblogs.com can display Chinese characters and uses excellent Wordpress software. I haven’t figured out how to change the template, but my new Chinese blog Zhongguotong is simple and easy on the eyes. If the characters are too small, then adjust the font size on your internet browser. Unfortunately, there is a misspelling in the blog’s URL – it’s http://zhonguotong.footyblogs.com not http://zhongguotong.footyblogs.com. |
