We already know that blogspot and typepad blogs and geocities home
pages seem to be blocked by quite a few ISPs.
Unless you know of a new domain that has been blocked, please do not
write in with a new subject lines saying stuff like "XYZ ISP has
blocked my blog" It's not your blog that has been blocked, but entire
blog hosting domains.
So please do not repeat redundant information in this group. It may be
new to you, it isn't to the rest of this group.
2.
There is a list of ISPs already known to be blocking these domains.
That list is here:

If you have an addition to that list, please leave a comment on the
Talk Page:

Please find a relevant thread and reply within that thread. Not doing
so amounts to bad manners and disrespect to other members of this
group.

We are grateful for your tips and instructions on how to get around the
ban. If you have any, please post in the appropriate thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/BloggersCollective/browse_thread/threa...
But first, please see this page to make sure you're not sending in
infromation that's already there:

We support your right to rant. We understand your anger. But we've been
hearing a lot of it over the last few days, very little of which is new
or even amsuing.
Please understand that we're making time from our personal and
professional lives to run this effort, and a few hundred mails a day
that are repeating what others have said does not help.
So, please rant only in the appropriate thread and those who want to
will read, and those who would rather not can ignore your mail.
This appropriate thread (made syicky for your convenience) is
