EzineArticles and IE7

I have been impressed over the past year or so at the amount of traffic generated by EzineArticles so occasionally I will write an article. Just now I was writing a killer article on pricing SEO services - ok, maybe not killer (Nate’s new favorite word in ad copy), but a decent article.

It took me about 10-15 minutes to wrap everything up and I was pretty happy with what I had written. Then I go to preview what I wrote - simple enough. But no - IE7 (which I used to like, then I didn’t, then I kind of did until just now) decides to block the popup - apparently Mr. Gates didn’t get the memo that we all have several effective popup blockers already installed and we don’t need yet another one.

OK, no big deal - I’ll just “Allow all popups from this website” and go on my way, right? Wrong - IE7 refreshes and I have a new clean article template to start over with. So obviously I’m mad at Microsoft (no, not that mad, Mr. Slam Sandwich), but I’m kind of mad at Ezine, too. I mean, they have an Auto-Save feature, but it doesn’t seem to work. Maybe you have to click something to make it work… but wouldn’t that make it just a “save” feature?
