Internet Explorer and Blogger

Blogger has been having some issues with Internet Explorer in the past month and many of you have emailed me with your frustration at not being able to open my blog (and other blogs) at times. We were first told it had to do with the followers widget but I don't even have that on my blog. I often get the error message (operation aborted) when I access other blogs off their feed in my google reader.

Unfortunately, I don't have a solution to the problem though hitting the "back" button after getting the error message often corrects the issue for me. A more practical solution is to download and use Firefox as your default browser. I am definitely an IE girl but in the past month have been using Firefox (because of the issues with IE) and am thrilled with it. I don't get the error messages and am impressed with its features. Best of all? It's FREE to download.
