Ian, do you mind teaching me how and what in order to add a head tag? I also have a website (not a blog) with a feed and would love it have it for the new IE 7 users. Thanks

Hi Eric, Thank you for taking the time to leave a note! I appreciate it. If you do find a work around, please let us know. I would definitely be interested. Hopefully, it will also help others who are running into the same issue.

Thanks again!

Hi there Ian. Interesting discovery! We’ve had to take special measures to track Google Toolbar hits differently, but I don’t think we’ve done that for the Desktop Sidebar. We’ll take a look at the nature of the requests to see if there’s some header that we can detect so that we know it’s a “drive-by” feed request.

Thanks!
