  I can view my blog in ie9 but when I go to sign in all I get is the loading circle but it never loads.

  Hi there!

  I tested http://wordpress.com/ in IE9 for Windows 7 and it works fine for me. Are you still having trouble logging in?

  If so, please let me know the exact link you’re using to log in and I’ll be happy to investigate further.

  It sounds like there’s a setting on your computer that’s not allowing access because I tested everything in IE9 and it works perfectly. Can you check these things?

  1) Add WordPress.com to your browser’s trusted zone:
  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/174360

  2) Enable scripting in your browser

  a. In Internet Options, On the Tools menu, click Internet Options, and then click the Security tab.
  b. Click the Internet zone.
  c. If you do not have to customize your Internet security settings, click Default Level. Then do step e

  d. If you have to customize your Internet security settings, follow these steps:
  – Click Custom Level.
  – In the Security Settings – Internet Zone dialog box, click Enable for Active Scripting in the Scripting section.

  e. Click the Back button to return to the previous page, and then click the Refresh button to run scripts.

  WordPress.com uses JavaScript in it’s home page and dashboard, so if you’re blocking scripts in your browser it will make the page unusable.

  Also, check to see if you’re running any anti-virus or anti-malware software. These programs can also block JavaScript. Try disabling them temporarily and visit WordPress.com again to see if that helps.

  Let me know if you have any other questions.
