There is a lot of buzz around Microsoft’s beta release of Internet Explorer 9, and it even rated a (sponsored) fawning on the official WordPress.com blog, but there are issues that people are running into trying to use it on WordPress.com and I suspect on self-hosted WordPress blogs as well.
One issue is that you cannot add or move widgets around on the widgets admin page, or rearrange them in the sidebar panel. IE9 in this respect has resurrected the ghosts of IE past. IE 6 had this issue as did IE7 when first released.

WordPress is highly unlikely to address any IE9 compatibility issues till the browser goes full public release. If they did, they might end up chasing shadows as MS changes this and then changes that and then changes both of those again.

From looking at the new features and improvements though, IE9 promises a greatly improved user experience. As with any software though, only time will tell.

Aligning multiple images in a WordPress blog in an attractive and organized manner is frequently problematic, most particularly for new bloggers. They often ask: Why don’t my images align the way I want them to?
OMG! You worked hard on a post, published and then logged out. You returned the next day and logged in and found the post (or page) is gone. This means you may have to reconstruct it again from scratch. You suddenly feel dizzy, and nauseated, and your heart begins to beat rapidly.
