a techie question (again)

[mmegaera]

Does WordPress.com work well with IE8? I don't want to pay the money to upgrade to Windows 7 (which is the only way I can get IE9) or switch browser brands (the last time I tried that it was a disaster), and apparently you can't just contact WordPress and ask (their contact form says it's limited to people who pay for extras, which in itself is something of a red flag to me). Looking at their help screens and googling were no help, either.

Failing that, does anyone know of a good blog hosting site that will work well with IE8? That pays for itself by some other way than charging its bloggers cash? (apparently I can't customize LJ or DW to the point that I'd need to without paying extra, and I haven't had to do that so far...).

Please, someone? Anyone?

*nods* Good luck! Hope it continues to work for you! 'Cause yeah, operating system upgrades are expensive. Especially if they require you to get a whole new computer that can support them. :/

That's the only good thing about this whole mess. My existing computer does seem to have the hardware guts to accommodate Windows 7. I have no idea if my netbook does, though, and I really would want them to be on the same OS.

Sigh.

Thanks!
