SiteMeter and blogspot having a problem

Imagine my surprise when IE said it wouldn't open my blog! I refuse to do any add-ons since the laptop is so touchy, so I didn't want to try Firefox. So I poked around on the various discussion lists and someone said SiteMeter was the problem. I really hesitated to pull it, because I really like that system (it's free and easy for non-techies like me), but oh well. ZIP, now I seem to be working again.
