What Grinds My Gears

Do you want to know what grinds my gears?

When I go to someones site and every time it blows up IE. Every time!

Sorry Dr. Martin Russell, I like reading your articles but serious man… I have to wonder how many lost visitors, subscribers and sales you are getting because of it.

Note to Aweber users, fix your freakin pop-in forms! Thanks go to Aaron for reminding me of the title I used for this post.

    We have way more control of ourselves than we do others.

    Firefox has an Internet Explorer plug-in to switch between the two browsers inside one tab.

    Actually, James Brausch, Aaron, and your site did, and sometimes still do the same thing. However, the likelihood and effects vary dramatically between IE 6 and IE 7.
    In IE 7 you have to close the browser before you can reload the site.

    Seems to be caused by the page not having focus when it finishes loading.

    I’ve come across that problem only once before on another blog, but never seemed to notice the problem on mine. I’ve never looked into it.

    That’s actually the first time I’ve had someone mention that problem occuring on my blog. Weird.

    Yeah Jim, I thought I recognized the blog entry title… :)
