Why can't one of my readers suddenly not be able to access my blog?
-
One of my most faithful followers says she can no longer access my blog. I’ve heard of no other people having such problems getting to my blog. What could be her problem?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
Is the follower able to visit other sites? It might be a local issue, such as a browser in need of updating, or a browser cache needing to be cleared.
How does the follower attempt to access the blog?

If this person has a wordpress.COM username account please have her log in and post here for help.
If she does not have a wordpress.COM username account, we do not provide support, but I suggest that you email my browser and connectivity checklist list which I will post below to her.
1. If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.
2. If you are using an IE browser in compatibility mode please disable that mode. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view
3. If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/
(a) Try clearing your browser’s cache http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050
If applicable see here for instructions on how to clear the cache for Chrome and Safari on the iPad:

(d) Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/
Add both *.wordpress.com and *.wp.com to your list of trusted sites under the Security tab. Make sure to uncheck the box for “Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone.” http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/#frequently-asked-questions
4. You can use this link to see if your flash is up to date. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ If it’s not then go to http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/ and download and install the latest version of flash.
5. Try using another browser.
