I see a number of them. Fortunately they don't seem to have any real negative impact on anything.

Still don't see any "X"s - here's a screen capture.
I'm using Firefox, perhaps that why I don't see the "X"s.

You might have a virus. This is what I see by clicking on the "X"

Curiouser and curiouser. I opened Steve's page in IE8 and found some links I never saw before, I also now see the boxes with the red "X".
In Firefox, I never saw the number of subscribers or the 4 links to Timber Tagger, CanCam, Hand Crocheted lace items, and Fix Registry. Looking at the HTML of the page, the links are there but aren't visible in Firefox. This is because I have used Ghostery to block trackers on all web sites. I'll enable some of the trackers for Steve's site only, so I can see more of the page.
Not seeing the "X"s, etc. is not a virus, but I suppose it could indicate a virus, if the trackers were not blocked.
Thanks,
Jim

For some reason Microsoft in the latest version of Internet Explorer (version 10) they decided they would set the rules on certain graphics and other modules. The rest of the Web site building world kinda told them to stuff it. I had to dump IE10 because many images were not showing up the way the should.
That and with Mozilla Firefox seeming to be way more stable than it use to be, I made the move back to Firefox for my main browser. I still keep and use Chrome, and occasionally IE9 these days.
I guess the bottom line is if you dont like the way a website looks on IE, switch over to Chrome or Firefox and see if it behaves better for you there.
