I loaded IE8 about a month ago and since then I’ve been getting the error below after I check in a page. First, the usual message that the page needs to be approved: If I choose ‘Yes’, I get the error: “A World Wide Web browser, such as Windows Internet Explorer, is required to use…
I’ve been watching my blog stats go up lately with a lot of hits from condron.us and alphainventions.com. I’ve done some research into both and I have a few opinions I’d like to share. (Note that you can see your blog hits here at WordPress by going to your Dashboard and then Blog Stats: currently…
