They say the most valued 'customer' is one who complains.
Well, there's one step up from that: one who writes in to help.
From Dave at Solarventi:
Don’t know what the cause might be, but Junkk.blogspot is fine with firefox, but now seems to freeze on any attempt I make to open it using internet explorer. Maybe some of the new bits and bobs you have added in are not compatible with IE? If so, it will radically reduce your readership as 95%+ of the planet’s www users are still using IE. It does the same on two machines here, one running XP and one running Win2000. Might be worth asking someone else using IE to try?
Well, I recently added some 'add this' scripts that may have been the cause, and they are now gone.
I then tried my Mac on IE. It worked...sort of. No freezing, but the page layout was all over the show, and the typeface seems to have defaulted to some 'all caps' job. It's fine on Safari and FireFox.
Readable, but not optimal on IE then.
Now tried two PCs on IE and...phew, it works fine.
With luck it was those new scripts.
Otherwise I'd have been left with asking Blogger to help with IE. Not a prospect to relish:)

Firefox Surprises
I just upgraded my Firefox browser (Mac only) and a lot of new stuff has popped up.
Oddly (or not, I think they are all Google-linked) this seems to have 'affected' my blog too; I hope in a good way.
A bunch more functionality has appeared.
Now I am all for toys, but having been put off Facebook by all the walls and pokes and what have you I must proceed with caution here.
As building a community is obviously something I am keen to encourage, there is one that strikes a chord immediately, though the name sucks.
It's called 'Followers'. I know this is literally correct, and pretty much says what is on the tin, but I am not sure I like the connotations. Maybe it is just me. Not sure what I would post, but it seems just 'off-putting' in those terms. I guess all who have an interest in my blog and click on a thing to be informed are 'following' it, but for this journey I simply seek to share with 'Fellow Travellers'.
I wonder if Mozilla will be open to the suggestion?
I also need to check out what the other consequences are of adding this, but it may be a worthy option.
Addendum - Let's try. I can 'rename' the title, but it still has those sharing my journey as 'followers' and I can't seem to delete it. Plus there is an option to be 'secret' follower so that allows folk to track without being seen.
