I.E. error
The blogs listed here in the lefthand column are ungettable-to today because of an I.E. abort error that started last night and altogether prevents reading. A clue is a long long pause when you click on the url.

These blogs are getting the I.E. abort error.

Do they use Site Meter?
If so, Site Meter might be the problem.

These blogs are not getting the I.E. abort error.

Do they use Site Meter?
If so, Site Meter isn't the problem.

Apparently Seablogger was advised that Site Meter was causing the problem so Alan removed S.M. and his blog works fine now. But since everyone was fine yesterday (which I know personally because I did in fact visit) it's puzzling what happened. Why would S.M. suddenly be incompatible with sites that used it all along. Did Site Meter or I.E. change something on August 1st? I can't switch to Firefox since I've had major security problems with Firefox but I also want to be able to read my faves.

Update: Site Meter has apparently fixed their update so it plays nice with I.E.7 again. Whew.

Site Meter is implementing several changes, and one of them happened to fall right on top of a known (and long-standing) IE bug. To get around this, I installed the 1999 version of the Site Meter code, which doesn't run afoul of the bug.

WOW! I hope they know about it by now! It's got to be irritating a whole heckuva lot of bloggers by now.

Real glad to be able to get to you again!!

Thanks for publishing this list. I removed sitemeter. I use Firefox, so I never ran into this problem. I tested with IE7 and it works fine on my computer now.

I had no idea until I saw your link today. I use Firefox, too -- and on a Mac, so I don't even have IE on my computer. Guess I should find a way to check out how things look on EI every once in a while. I'm glad it seems to be fixed now.
