Microsoft joins the “no more IE6″ cause Published on March 7, 2011
Microsoft, trough the website IE6 Count down (ie6countdown.com/index.html) is “asking” people to stop using IE6 once and for all.
From the IE6 Count down website:
Why move off of Internet Explorer 6?
“There are many benefits of upgrading to a newer version of Internet Explorer – improved speed, tabbed browsing, and better privacy settings to name a few.
The web has changed significantly over the past 10 years. The browser has evolved to adapt to new web technologies, and the latest versions of Internet Explorer help protect you from new attacks and threats.
We recommend that Internet Explorer 6 users upgrade to a newer version of Internet Explorer for a safer browsing experience.”
Now this a good time to start using my “No More IE6″ free Word Press plugin: wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nomoreie6/
have fun!

NoMoreIE6 Word Press Plugin is out! Published on January 19, 2010
An updated version of the NoMoreIE6 Word Press Plugin is out!
You can get it here: www.wdmac.com/wp-plugins/nomoreie6
This plugin displays a warning message on the top of your website, to all IE6 users, and only to them, warning about security issues concerning their browser, and about the limitations on their browsing-user-experience.
This updated version allows users to choose and download free from a set of top browsers.
Browser security is a very pertinent matter, emphasized by the recent exploits found on IE6, which caused the China-Hackers-Attack on Google, the last week.
Don’t take any chances! Download the NoMoreIE6 plugin and warn your users they should upgrade to a decent browser.
Get rid of all the nonsense tweaks to get your browser looking good on IE6 for good.
