Looks interesting, but wordpress blogs are blocked here in mainland China! The site will get much broader readership here if hosted on a different blogging platform.

Hi Erica,
Too bad we cannot access to this blog from China…I just tried to open the blogpage severeal times, but..
It seems wordpress blogs are often blocked here.

Is the blogger in China?

Thanks

Dear Vance and Perrine,

Thanks for your comments. Since launching her site, I think Elizabeth has found out that Wordpress is indeed blocked. I hope she will find a way to circumvent the problem. In the meantime, you can learn more about her on LinkedIn and Twitter (needigest). And read her previously posted content on Sustainablog (much of which she has cross-posted on NEEDigest).

To answer Perrine’s question: Elizabeth is based in New York City.

Stay in touch!
Erica

Vance,

I noticed from your online bio that you work on clean transportation for China. Are you familiar with EMBARQ - The World Resources Institute Center for Sustainable Transport? I’m interning there right now. Get in touch with me if you’d like to learn more about the organization. We’ve done work in Shanghai and Xi’an in the past.

Best,
Erica

FYI, the NEEDigest feed is not blocked, just the domain. I’m able to read the posts through Google reader.

Erica - I know EMBARQ well. I’ll follow up with you further over e-mail.

Hi,

Thanks to Erica for plugging NEEDigest. I’m happy to announce that the site can now be accessed directly at the domain by the same name: http://www.needigest.com. Wordpress http no longer necessary.

Hope you enjoy it and thanks for your support!

Best,
Elizabeth
