WordPress.com, the famous blog tool, was blocked in China this week.

A quick look at different blogs hosted by WordPress (searching for wordpress in our new search above) shows the following:

Number of blogs blocked before this week: 7 our of 21 (33%).

Number of blogs blocked now: 21 out of 21 (100%).

The main wordpress.com website is also blocked. Interestingly, wordpress.org is still not blocked. So Chinese users can still access that website to download the WordPress software, but they have to host it somewhere else.
