Site Meter v. IE

Some visitors may have had problems visiting this site recently, and I do apologize. I had a dickens of a time trying to find out what was wrong.

The problem was that the sitemeter.com site crashed (created an upgrade that IE won't accept) yesterday and viewers using the Internet Exporer browser to any site that uses it for a counter got the error message:

Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site

Operation aborted

The suggested work-around for site visitors is to use another browser.

The suggested work-around for site owners is to (temporarily?) remove the sitemeter scripting code from their site templates (tip suggestion: save it to a notepad file, without word wrap, so you can reinstall it when it comes back on line).

Again, my apologies for any inconveniences.

Update: 3:20 PM

It looks like Sitemeter has resolved the issue. (?)
