Off Topic - Internet Explorer error when loading some pages

Some of you may be experiencing this problem
"Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site - operation aborted"

This may not just be this site but others too. Unfortunately this seems to happen on Internet Explorer 6 and 7. According to Microsoft's website they say the solution is to update to version 8. Brilliant! I say move to FireFox. Its free and much much better than IE. Its more secure too

Google are also working on the problem and have reported the following

Some users are seeing an 'Operation Aborted' error message when trying to load their blogs from Internet Explorer. We're looking into this and will update this message when we have a fix.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

I cannot emphasise enough that moving to FireFox or Chrome is a wise move. Don't worry about your stored favourites in Internet Explorer. They can be exported over quite easily. Also you can have more that one web browser. So you can still have Internet Explorer installed along side FireFox or Chrome so if you cannot get on with the other web browsers you can always load up Internet explorer. If you aren't sure you can email me or leave a message and I will be glad to help.
