Adoptablog
Over at Ace, we discover that there is an effort to provide homes for Chinese blogs. Given the censorship and controls employed by the Communist government (backed of course by the threat of police violence) it behooves us in the free world to help out where we can.
Adoptablog is a project to match Chinese blogs (or, in fact, blogs from anywhere where there is totalitarian speech suppression) with hosts in the US. After consulting the oracles, finger bones, and a few tea leaves, I have determined that we can easily spare room here for a Chinese blog. If you are a blogger in need of hosting, email {encode="adoptablog@perfidy.org" title="Perfidy Adoptablog"} and we'll figure out how to get you set up. (Perfidy is running on expression engine software, but we can be flexible should that be necessary.)

I hope you provide your hopeful prospects with some good instructions for anonymizers.

And, for what it's worth, I'm the proud proprietor of a host (pMachine- and WordPress-enabled) that's, uh, underutilized at this time.
I would say it's just resting, but it's actually pining for the fjords. So that space can also be partitioned up, should demand dictate.
