IE Security settings

posted Thursday, 1 February 2007

If you find that your blog does not seem to work as well in IE, it could all be down to your security settings.

You might for instance see this when you try to load the compose area for creating a blog entry, and perhaps it stays like that for a long time, or forever?

Another problem you may have, your Settings page is full of icons, but if you click on them, they may do nothing. You could have a void error in the bottom left browser corner.

Don't worry. You can fix it with one setting in your browser. First of all open your Tools(1) menu in the browser tool bar. From the drop down menu choose Internet options

Choose the second tab along called Security(3). Have a look at your security level.

If its set - as above - to Medum-High, you'll be just fine. However, if you are set to high, you need to make an adjustement to your setting. You do not need to be set as this example is, to medium-high. Just follow these examples. Click the Custom level(4) button as in the image above.

This will pop up a page of settings, with enables/disable type options. Scroll to almost the bottom of those options, note the position of the scrollbar(5) in the image below.

Make sure that Active Scripting is Enabled(6) and then just click OK(7) to save.

Close your security windows by clicking ok, and then refresh your blog admin page with F5. Voila, now you are secure AND you can use blog-city freely!
