problems with my blog…need your help

Posted in Announcements at 9:24 pm by Benjamin Ross

As many of you have probably noticed, my blog has been having some problems of late. Sometimes it loads great, other times not at all, and lately here in Beijing it has been opening, just incredibly slowly. I have narrowed the problem down to three possible reasons, but I need a little feedback in order to get this solved. So if you are reading this and have the time please send me an e-mail to bensinchina at yahoo.com answering these 3 simple questions.

What country are you accessing this site from? (If you’re in mainland China, please list province and city too.)

Have you experienced any times where this site would not open at all?

Have you experienced any times where the site loaded, but very slowly?

If you haven’t experienced any of these problems, please by all means let me know as well. I need to know where the problems exist, and where they don’t. Thanks for everybody’s help, and hopefully this situation will be rectified ASAP. Hope everyone’s enjoying their summer.

    Minus that one time last week when I couldn’t comment I haven’t experienced any problems from Spain. It may be worth noting is that I use Camino (a Firefox-based browser for Mac).

    I hope you can solve this soon.

    I have noticed on several occasions that you blog doesn’t load at all. I thought it wasn’t going to load today either, but it finally did. Hope you get it fixed soon.

    We are in Xiamen and we often can’t load your blog up, now we normally just check it through Google Reader and we’ve since loaded up firefox 3.0 with g1adder. Just using the Reader made it tough in that you couldn’t view or leave comments, but now that we have Firefox that seemed to have fixed most of the problems.

    Hey Ben,

    Reading up on your life from Denmark, and so far I have observed no problems what so ever.

    Bet it is a GFW/China problem.

    Having few problems loading your site from Australia, Sydney.
    Takes about 5-8mins to load your site and it took about 10 minutes to load this page.
    Hope you get this fixed soon buddy.
