I've been having a hard time getting to blogspot. Is Korea following in China's footsteps and blocking it?

NO problem for me. Where are you surfing from. Public school have a tendency to block some sites and places like blogspot and Facebook can be caught up in the net.

Works okay for me too. What's the message you're seeing in your browser?

Problem loading page
The connection has timed out

The server at abc.blogspot.com is taking too long to respond.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

For some reason blogspots are ridiculously slow here (fastest internet my ace). The sites times-out almost every time.

Actually, my sig is the site I'm trying to get to Smile I don't know. It acts up. It's not like it's completely blocked, but there are hours at a time when I can't access it.

MY ISP is Tbroad

I've also got SK and didn't have any issues accessing it. It's not uncommon for the underwater cable to hiccup and/or experience congestion. Were you accessing it at home or work?
