I have found the great way how to <a href="http://www.smarthide.com" rel="nofollow">unblock blocked site</a>. It's called SmartHide. I use it for a long period of time and even forgot about any restrictions that SA government does for us. So, I advice you to try this hide IP software if you really want to access many blocked sites. Hello! I have found the great way how to unblock blocked site. It’s called SmartHide.

Saudis bloggers mostly abused the service by posting or linking to indecent pictures, music and videos that a Muslim should never even watch and listen to, let alone announcing it to the whole world. If you are a Muslim, act as one! Nonetheless, I sympathize with the FEW non-westenized bloggers; may their blogs rest in peace. On second thought, I think the block will be lifted soon enough.

If you need help getting a temporary place to blog - say at Blogsome - let us know and we'll try to help. As for the techniques in the guide, it's possible that some may work, notably using anonymous proxies to access the blogger interface. But we know that the Saudi authorities are pretty effective in blocking proxies, and it's certainly slower to blog through a proxy than blogging directly. Really sorry to hear this, Ahmed.
