IE7 Operation Aborted Solution

Well as you all no doubt know I spent all day yesterday sorting out my Blog as it wouldn’t load properly in Internet Explorer 7 but it would in other browsers (Firefox, Chrome etc). But it didn’t just effect my site as there were many other Alex Jeffreys students effected, and I guess many other sites across the world had the same problem. When you attempt to go to the problem websites you got a message along the lines of this:-

“Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet Site …..
Operation Aborted”

If you can read this then you must be using a browser other than Internet Explorer 7.0. Anyone using IE7 cannot access the site as they get a message saying “Internet Explorer cannot open site … Operation Aborted” or something similar.

Now this started happening shortly after the I put up the post yesterday evening with the video of the proof Gary Simpson had won the Google Ranking competition. About an hour after that the site starting having problems. I have tried removing the post, the video my pop-ups and yet I still get the same message.

If anybody has any ideas what I can do to rectify it please let me know. I stil don’t quite understand how it can work with other browsers (eg. Firefox, Chrome) but not IE7. Any help much apprecaited as I’m tearing my hair out here :-(

Alex Jeffreys Google Winner

Yes there is a winner in the Alex Jeffreys Video Competition and a well deserved winner is all I can say.

Here is the short video below with the proof. I am sure everyone will want to join in the congratulations to the person when you view the video and find out who it is. Well done it is richly deserved. More later, just wanted to get this post up as quickly as possible.

Avatars, Pictures and Internet Marketing

Since very early on with the Alex Jeffreys Coaching Course I have had the “Eye” avatar that is no doubt very familiar to many of my regular readers, particularly those fellow Alex Jeffreys students with me from the start of this blog. My avatar is visible in many places: Wherever I comment on the many Internet Marketing blogs around the web, on my Twitter messages and on my YouTube channel to name a few.

Now the time has come to change it but I am in two minds the direction I want to go with a new avatar. Please stick with me and I will explain. Oh, and by the way, if you don’t know how to get an avatar then I was thinking of putting up a short tutorial video tomorrow on how to do it. Please drop me a comment if you would like to see a tutorial video and I will decide if there is enough interest to warrant it.
