    I have a blog.
    I working hard on it to make it as fast as possible and i am aware of slow internet connections (especially India where my primary traffic comes on and ranked 114th in speed) so i was thinking about removing the IE6 code from my blogger blog.

    Is it safe to do that?
    Advice Needed!

    What exactly is that IE6 code? Compatibility optimization? Design elements?

    Do you know exactly how fast/slow your site is compared to others? I know alexa.com gives a fairly accurate assessment.

    you should drop support for IE6! websites that still support IE6-7 are really screw all the other good web coders!
    Drop support for IE6-7 and show a message to upgrade or move to a better browser!

    use PHP Browsercap to redirect IE users to some other page containing a message for them to upgrade
