To view any blogspot blog you want and bypass the ban, go to http://proxify.com. At this site, you can type in the url of the blog you want to visit and it will take you there, completely bypassing the firewall effecting the ban.
In order to post convienently, download blogger for word. This is an add-on to MS Word that allows you to type your blog post into Word, click on a button and have MS Word communicate directly with the blogger servers, thereby enabling you to bypass the firewall. I've actually been using it for many months. It's far more convienent that going to the blogger.com site directly and posting from there.
NOTE: If you can't find the blogger for word extension outside the blocked blogger.com site, feel free to email me at drpak-at-gmail.com and I'll email the extention to you.
I suggest bloggers in pakistan using port 8090 from now onwards because port 8080 is receving a lot of traffic atm.
I've got in touch with the teams at blogger.com (blogger buzz, bloger status and blogger development network) and they should be getting back to us with some alternatives.
USe google transltion service. type url of ur blog in google search. when the result comes ask google to translate ur site into english for u. simple and fast way. u can use proxies or configure ur connectionn to route them through proxies. i have found the Codeen network to be the fastest. But the problem is u cant use the post function there.

In order to provide an easy work-around the blockade of blogspot blogs in Pakistan, I have written a simple firefox extension "*httProxy* <http://httproxy.mozdev.org/>" using which you can access any blocked page using the pre-defined set of proxies with a handy button beside the location bar and options on context menus. The extension, configuration and user guide is avaiable here: http://httproxy.mozdev.org/installation.html
The extension is attached since the download mirror will be updated by 0500 PST tomorrow. Comments, questions and future features can be sent to ovais dot khan at gmail dot com
Ovais, is it possible to throw in pre-defined proxy values on a weekly basis, and update the download on the ff extensions page until someone else contributes to making the extension user-defined? Maybe later on we could do a simple auto-fetch for new proxy listings from the extension on the task bar.
thanks, angelo.

The extension is already hosted on mozdev (http://httproxy.mozdev.org). I have requested for addition at addons.mozilla.org, but this hasn't approved yet. I have heard it will take them pretty long to list it as they have long queues.
Auto-fetching proxy list is a good idea and is on my list of todo's; as is user-defined proxies, supporting more proxy types (that use hashes instead of URLs) and auto access of configured pages via default proxy, but do won't have time for the next couple of weeks. Anyone who can spend some time on these features is welcome, we can easilly collaborate via mozdev.
