    Hilarious!!!
    Did you try to access it via a proxy, or directly via the IP?

    I've noticed some places just block the domain, so if I acces the site via the IP I can still go there :)

    I see no reason why they have to that. That's really annoying. :(

    There is one big reason to block Blogger -- porn blogs. A library is visited by all kinds of people including children. No one should have to be subject to sites that feature porn.

    that's a good point but aren't filters smart enough to distinguish between the friendlies and the nudies?

    No. Even then, language is an issue with some libraries. Therefore, the library board probably decided to make certain that it is all curtailed -- saves them a lot of headaches, I guess.

    I see :cool: .
    Yeah, I'm sure they'd rather be cautious rather than having to explain to some parents why their son was looking @ an a**aholic blog on blogger :eek:

    porn blogs?

    surely they can discern and block sub domains.
    Nothing wrong with that.. But the website as a whole isn't bad now is it? :/

    The only thing the library here blocks are torrent sites and other illegal stuff.
