I see many errors on ie8 for lots of new wp builds and plugins. I hope these are corrected with ie9. It’s annoying to add a cool sharing or seo tweak, online to open it a few weeks later in ie and have it crash on you.
I’d install a plugin like http://wordpress.org/extend/pl.....atibility/ or add the ‘http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=EmulateIE7″‘ meta tag to the theme. I’ve looked at the code in the plugin & besides adding an option (I don’t see why it needs to do that.) it adds the meta tag.
The main reason I suggest that is Microsoft is still doing it for microsoft.com. If they don’t have a clue how to deal with IE8 & IE9 then what chance do we have.
I’ve seen that blank white screen error, as I remember in my case, it’s caused by the old WP Super Cache, but it’s long time ago, WP Super Cache is working fine now.

Thanks for the great article. You saved my butt. I’m a wedding photographer in Dallas and I got my word press blog back up thanks to your tips.
Epic save Phil!

The second paragraph of the article is like the best compilation of most common WordPress errors I have come across. Nice thing to bookmark.
