Internet Explorer Cannot Open the Internet Website Operation Aborted

If you're getting the "Internet Explorer Cannot Open the Internet Site Operation Aborted" error on your WordPress blog or website like I was it might be the WordPress theme you're using.

"Internet Explorer Cannot Open the Internet Site Operation Aborted"error...

...was happening on my CpTimes.com blog about the top-selling products online -- I noticed it when I finally popped over to IE to check out my site (I'm more fond of Firefox as a web browser) and was horrified to hear the beep and see the box pop up first saying "Internet Explorer Cannot Open the Internet Site" and then even more pissed to see the "Operation Aborted" box force any website visitors trying to get to my site be forced to close it down -- instead of buy the product they wanted!

So I did some Googling around -- and that's how I found Lyndi's Nice2All themes and read that she makes sure that her themes work on WordPress blogs that have a lot of pages, like mine did.

It was time for a change anyway, so I downloaded one of her themes and tweaked it around like I like it (gotta put those post titles before the blog title so you'll get a better click-thru rate on Google -- and put your post titles in h1 tags) and voila!

Have mercy the "Internet Explorer Cannot Open the Internet Site Operation Aborted" error went away, and my web traffic went back up.

So don't forget to check your website on many different browsers for the "Internet Explorer Cannot Open the Internet Site Operation Aborted" error and make sure your theme can handle your WordPress website.

This is one of the reasons I am all for having a standalone domain that I can add the plugin wp Super Cache to. http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-super-cache/ I agree that it can be the theme that is not compatible but it can simply be the code of the blog as well.

When I test my blog I look at it in IE, Firefox, And Safari to be sure that everything looks good.

I prefer Firefox but sometimes its revisions can wig out on assorted internet applications too. Like Glen said it's all in the testing when you make revisions.

By the way Paula, claim your Lemonade Award on MartyBLOGs today. Have a good one.

Paula's List of Blogger Salaries...Are you on the list?

Update: For those who continue to enjoy this post, check out my website about 50 real online people making more than $50k per year , and my page where I update my online salary . UPDATE: Before you read any further or especially link to this old list, please check out "Paula's New List of Blogger Salaries (and Webmasters, Affiliate Marketers, Content Scrapers, Domainers and any other title you can think of) June 2007" by clicking here! ~ Thanks, PAULA NEAL MOONEY by Paula Neal Mooney One of my favorite features in Parade magazine is the issue where they grab a random sampling of people and report their incomes -- from the millionaires to the working poor. Since I'm fascinated with how much money bloggers and webmasters are making nowadays, I've created a similar list -- a random sampling of people making money on the net. Who's on Paula's List of Blogger and Webmaster Salaries? I spent hours and hours scouring the internet for the last-reporte...

Paula's New List of Blogger Salaries (and Webmasters, Affiliate Marketers, Content Scrapers, Domainers and any other title you can think of) June 2007

FIND OUT HOW MUCH BLOGGERS REALLY MAKE ONLINE -- CHECK OUT THIS NEW WEBSITE ABOUT MONEY-MAKING ONLINE CALLED 50 OVER $50K... by Paula Neal Mooney The time has come. The time is now. Paula N. Mooney will you please publish that list now?! (Yes, I fancy Dr. Seuss' iambic pentameter.) My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes. How Much Do You Make? Money is funny. The abundance of it, the lack of it, the subject of cash in general gets attention. While some invoke their choice not to post their online income nor discuss it at all, I've always been of the Suze Orman mindset ever since I read her first book. Suze encourages people to talk ab...

UPDATE - I can't do it. Just as soon as I signed up with Tissa's people search engine, I cancelled. I just don't feel right about helping people find other people's addresses and phone numbers. AND THIS PRIVACY ISSUE IS GAINING STEAM. CHECK OUT THE CONTROVERSY BREWING OVER THE MYLIFE.COM PRIVACY SELLING ISSUES THAT TISSA USES TO PROVIDE THE PEOPLE SEARCH ENGINE INFO. I know I could probably make money with it, but it's just not sitting right with my soul. Back to the drawing board. I know better things await... I kept trying to rationalize that many people could use the people search engines for good purposes, like reconnecting with old classmates and finding deadbeat dads and such -- but the reality is that if just one person uses them for nefarious purposes, I just don't want to be a part of that. I wonder if Tissa would care if people found out the address of his fabulous home, and came a' knocking on his door? How I Bought a Brand New $1.2 Million Dolla...
