I just read an interesting article about using blogs (with comments) to teach English in a Venezuelan university. The blogs incorporated chat tools, a translation widget and a text to speech widget. They seemed to meet with a positive reaction from the students.
I have previously tried using blogs in China, but with mixed results (possibly because it wasn't compulsory, and at high school level).
Has anyone else tried using blogs to teach English in China?

No never that would be considered online teaching and I've been a student in an online class before I've also been an online teacher. Face to face one on one interaction is the best and then you have discussion boards which are pretty useful just as long as you make sure the students respond to the other students in the class.
the major problem with students in china is that they have no idea how to use their brains. they are afraid to death of trying to come up with their own ideas. also they are too arrogant or shy to ask questions about new vocab. they either are too sure of themselves and their silly chinese translators or they are too concerned about face. now the second part can be solved through online teaching.
but i think in class is best. especially in china
