 * The STC Follow Button isn’t working in IE7 or IE8 for me. I get the following
   JavaScript error and while the button loads most of the time, nothing happens
   when I click on the button. It works in all other browsers. I have Simple Facebook
   Connect working on the site as well.

 * The button comes from Twitter’s [@anywhere](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anywhere/)
   code. So if it’s not working in IE, that’s probably because their code isn’t 
   compatible with IE. Not much I can do about that.
