Or well, rather - there's general issues w/ sitemeter (a web-based counterservice which I have been using) and Internet Explorers of certain releases: if you're one of those whose blog is affected by this annoying problem, simply just remove all of your sitemeter-widgets/snippets of code. It's a fault that lies within Sitemeter (and IE) afaik - go to their site if you use IE and you'll know what I mean - it wasn't corrected after eight hours (atm) which's a lot for impatient internetusers :p
Anyways. I was using both sitemeter and statcounter and I guess I'll stick to statcounter only from now on :p
