Google's Blogger is reporting problems, which many of us have experienced:

Some users are seeing an 'Operation Aborted' error message when trying to load their blogs from Internet Explorer. We're looking into this and will update this message when we have a fix.
We apologize for the inconvenience. — latest update on Thursday, May 21, 2009
I get "operation aborted" and "Windows busy" messages.
The solution is to download the Firefox browser from Mozilla for free. Firefox runs much faster and can take over the favorites of Internet Explorer.
Free download for Firefox - click here.
Blogger Update
Update (May 26): We are still working on resolving this bug. This only affects viewers using IE to view the blog; for right now, blog owners can either move the Followers gadget lower in their sidebar, or remove it altogether. Either action will eliminate the pop-up dialog box in IE.
We will update this post when a fix has been made. — latest update on Thursday, May 21, 2009

I followed Blogger's suggestion and moved the followers list to the bottom. Now Ichabod works fine with Internet Explorer.
