Blogger blog not opening with Internet Explorer? ... Follow with Google Friend Connect is Causing Problems

google friend connect is causing blogger blogs not to load correctly and show a operation abort cannot open page warning using internet explorer
"Follow" with Google Friend Connect is Causing Problems!

Many have found that loading a blog with this widget are getting a "ABORT" cannot load page message when surfing with the Internet Explorer Browser. Not all blogs are affected though ... WHY? Because it causes the widgets that follow it to load incorrectly. Internet Explorer loads from point A to point B (start to finish) unlike Firefox and Apple browsers, so one hiccup can be doomsday.
If you have the Google Friend Connect widget, try moving it to the end of your blog, meaning the footer. VERY LAST. This way, you will not loose your followers, and you will be able to move it back to your sidebar once Blogger fixes the problem.

Case solved ... or sol-ved like the
Pink Panther would say.

Internet explorer cannot open page & the google friend connect widget connection"Before you comment that internet explorer sucks, and that you do not use it, remember that many still do. If half of the users coming to your blog are having problems, that is a BIG problem".
