Last week (14 July), Rebecca Mackinnon of NKzone announced

NKzone will be dormant for the coming week as we work to migrate the hosting to a new server. This is necessary because the current Typepad server is blocked in China and South Korea.
The new URL (which will continue directing to this site until the new site is ready) is www.NKzone.org

Meanwhile, the "Headline Feed" and "NK Updates" located in the right-hand column will continue to update automatically with the latest news headlines and blog posts on North Korea.

Those of you in China and S.Korea who can only receive NKzone content via email updates or RSS aggregation are encouraged to visit the following link directly for NK news updates:

With luck they should be up and running at their new address any day now, though not yet at time of writing.
