Internet Explorer blocking

Question

How do I add a custom page that is displayed only to Internet Explorer users so that they are not able to access my blog.

I'm using Wordpress 3.3 and thought there would be a plugin for that or something but no luck (there's a plugin that only adds a pop up window).

Is that achieved by using some kind of redirect or what?

Do you really want to block IE users? You can't get your blog to work in IE at all?
This is not friendly to your blog visitors, why do you want to do that?

You can use conditional comments for IE users and then use JavaScript to redirect them to a page that tells them whatever it is you want to say.

Try something like this in the <head> of your web page:

<!--[if IE]>
<script type="text/javascript">
    window.location = 'ie-only.html';
</script>
<![endif]-->

	Thanks, I'll look into it... – rlesko Dec 16 '11 at 10:46
	I tried adding a code from the link you provided but don't understand how to use it really. Could you please add a sample code that would lead to page `mydomain.com/ie` whenever a user tries to access the website with IE? Also, where am I suppose to put the conditioning code? To `head`, before `head` or somewhere else? – rlesko Jan 27 '12 at 17:21
	I updated my answer with an example for you. – John Conde♦ Jan 28 '12 at 0:07
