Re: Spam:****, Re: alternativephotography.com and cyanotype
Katherine, Don's right. Browsers have absolutely nothing to do with whether you can access a page. At the very most extreme, different browsers will display pages differently, nothing more. "Not found" errors are browser independent; they are usually caused, as Don mentioned, by configuration problems somewhere down the line (computer's firewall, wireless router, internet provider, etc.).
