Takes a while to get a result, but if the website is in any way entertaining, the chances are it's blocked in China.
SomethingAwful = Blocked
Fark = Available

My website: Available (probably only because they don't know about it)
PCFormat: Blocked! Obviously images of Kronos running down the street naked whenever the Sharks win don't go down too well with them.

No, probably all that crap Ike posted about China got PCF into their ban list.

It seems to me that they are whitelisting, rather than blacklisting websites.

Hmm, weird, how exactly does this site work? It says that it checks to see if China blocks it?

How the site works should be self explanatory.
The site connects to a server in China that attempts to access a website you specify. It attempts to do so using a Chinese ISP. It then reports back on whether the connection was successful or not.

According to state media, by the end of 2006 there were 20.8 million bloggers in China. Blogging, which implies venting your own opinions, has become immensely popular in China. In order to control the phenomenon the government wants blog users to register under their real name. A resourceful Chinese individual created this loophole:
www.adoptablog.org. Adopt a Chinese blog, and help keep these bloggers online - anonymously.
Wow, China sucks balls.
