Browsers
On one of the email reports, it tells me what browser you are using to view the web page. I was shocked to see that over half of you are still using Internet Explorer! Microsoft has stopped all it's upgrades and support for that browser on a mac. That means you not only have been experiencing more and more crashes (these will only get worse with time), but may not realize, you are missing half of a web page in many cases.
Still not convinced? Here's a test you can see for yourself: Open www.blogger.com (yes, you'll have to authenticate) in Internet Explorer and Safari (throw Firefox in there too if you have it). Now compare the page. Should be the same, but it's not! You'll notice several links missing from the Internet Explorer version. One of these links just happens to be the one you need to create a blog page.
My personal opinion - for what it's worth, is that Firefox would be the best browser to use. Safari would be my second choice, but I will not recommend that anyone continue to use Internet Explorer. Worried about losing all those bookmarks? You can import them into either Safari or Firefox. Come by and I'll show you how.

Chris, I think one reason why IE is used so much is that the email programs automatically open IE when you click on the link. If there is way to override this...we need to know about it.
Chris, I think IE is used a lot because it is the default browser when a hotlink is clicked on in an email. This is the case for me. If there is a way to override this, we need to know about it.

To answer your comment, you can use email links in ANY browser. You just need to make sure that whatever email client you are using (Apple Mail, or Entourage) is set up correctly as the default email client. Once that is set, you should be able to click on any email link in any browser... thanks for the input!
