WTF, Over?

So I go to check on the ol' blog tonight, and for whatever reason it won't load on IE7.

Keeps coming up with an error message:
Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site (url),

Operation aborted.
Reboot, nothing.

Clear cache, reboot, nothing.

Firefox version 1.0? No problemo.

What. The. Fuck???

Can't open other blogspot blogs or sitemeter, either. Everything else runs fine.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

That is all.

No ideas, but you are the third on my blogroll to report similar problems.

This post garnered a hit on Sitemeter which led to some sort of Q&A site. Apparently this is widespread, and the theory is that it's tied to Sitemeter somehow...

Go figure. Just another wrench in the works that is my life...

remove the sitemeter code (cut and paste it out into a notepad file and save it so you keep it) and try it then.

i tested your site in IE, 2 different versions, and it poops the bed in both. but runs fine in firefox.

long live mozilla. screw bill gates.

Internet Explorer? Eek!

There are a million reasons (mostly security related) to use Firefox. This is reason # 1,000,001.

War on guns had the same problem, removed sitemeter and said that fixed it. . . now need to go look at my own page to see if mine works. . . .

Internet Explorer sucks.

Jay G said...

It appears to be working correctly now...

For the moment...

I'll be migrating over to Firefox 3.0 eventually - I need to get the links from IE added/pruned, and I need to edumacate the rest of the family, who are, if you can believe it, less-computer savvy than even me...

You are comming over without problem now. Ditto it happened to a few other sites.

i hope that URL shows up in the comment. universal hub reports that sitemeter changed its code and now everyone using it has a problem with ie 6 and 7.

thought of you first when i saw the posting.

What Ted said.

I use IE only when a page refuses to load in Firefox, meaning, it's full of script that are replete with links & popups or could be used to infiltrate my system, thus I should proceed with extreme caution. Meaning, I click on it every fifteen days or so, maybe.

BTW, super-drag-and-go is the bomb.
