I think we are back in business!!!

Several people helped me in resolving a problem with our blog not displaying. It appeared to have something to do with b.scorecardresearch.com.

We finally figured out that starting with FireFox 3.6.6, a reference to Technorati's tag script would stop FireFox from loading. I've removed the reference. It is possible we may lose a little traffic, but I'd rather everyone be able to read our blog.

For anyone who wants more information, here are three places that discussed this problem: Blogger Help, Blogger News Network and FireFox Support

Life is good.

That's interesting, because I run firefox and had no problem loading your website

The internet is a funny thing sometimes :) Just the smallest piece of code can break it :D

My guess is you hadn't gotten the latest version of FireFox, version 3.6.6. Older versions could handle our blog just fine.

It was a weird problem. It was especially hard to deal with because I couldn't reproduce it.

I couldn't read it yesterday (I think) but since I couldn't get the page to load, I didn't know how to contact you.

Robert - you might snag my email address from my profile in case you need to contact me in the future.

Gary - thanks. It was pretty frustrating. Especially since other people were having trouble, but I couldn't reproduce it.

Carolyn - thank you, thank you for all your help. You made a huge difference.
