I'm tring to set up a new official blog site for the reserve where I work. It appears that I did everything right, but IE is claiming it cannot access the site. Oddly enough, I seem to be able to log in, edit the page, post messages to it, etc. I just can't actually view the site - and neither can anyone else, even using another compuer. Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong?
The address is supposedly: yachanapreserve.blogspot.com. Is anyone able to access it?

Thanks Everyone
Okay, this is simply bizarre. Neither I nor any of my friends using our local internet connection can access ANY of the blogspot blogs. Is there a way for someone to block blogs? It's weird that no other blog site appears to have this problem, either (like facebook or netlog).
If it's not some kind of control thing, is there a setting in IE or maybe Windows Vista that needs to be tweaked? I'm so technologically challenged that I'd believe anything.

Thanks Jar, et al
In chat, jar was able to help fix the problem in a few short sentences. I've always said the guy was a genius.
Anywhoo, everyone is invited to the inauguration of the blog. Feel free to post comments, suggestions, etc. Virtual champagne all around!!

Re: Hey, put your blog as your homepage
That's a good idea, Moose. Unfortunately it appears that I'm back to the same problem - I can't actually view the blog from here. Nor, interestingly enough, can anyone else using our network. There is still no problem with anyone outside the narrow confines of the Amazon . I tried the trick that worked last time, but no joy this go around. I can access the layout from blogger dashboard, but can't actually "view" the blog itself. I can also post new messages (apparently).
I hate technology.
