Since Blogspot has once again been “harmonized,” I thought it might be useful to repost this useful little Blogspot workaround:

Dave from Mutant Palm has posted a fix for the CCP’s kabosh on Blogspot. As a public service, I am reposting here. It took me a couple of tries to get it going, but I’ve got it running now and it’s great. It’s fast AND smooth…kind of like a pina colada made with Bacardi 151.
The Ya, I Yee/Fermi Zhang blogspot proxy patch:
1. Use the Notepad (or other text editor softwares) to write a file with the following codes:
function FindProxyForURL(url,host){if(dnsDomainIs(host, “.blogspot.com”)){return “PROXY 72.14.219.190:80″;}}
2. Save it as proxy.pac (MAKE SURE IT SAVES as .pac file NOT a text file) and put it in the root directory of C:\3. Take Firefox for example,click Tools->Options->Advanced->Network->Settings…-> fill the codes below in the blank under “Automatic proxy configuration URL”: file:///C:/proxy.pac
4. Press Reload on the right, press OK, and OK.5. Relaunch Firefox, done!
Note: Ya, I Yee also has version that will allow access to wordpress.com sites as well. For even more information on proxies and workarounds, check out this post by Ryan written last
