But...

"Supported Browsers

This survey requires the use of Javascript which does not work on older or less popular browsers. To participate, you must have one of the following browsers:

* Microsoft IE 5.5+ (Windows)
* Netscape 7.0+ (Windows, Mac, Linux)
* Mozilla 1.0+ (Windows, Mac, Linux)
* Mozilla Firefox 0.6+ (Windows, Mac, Linux)
* Safari 1.2.1+ (Mac)
* Opera 7.6+ (Windows, Mac, Linux)"

(emphasis added)

Opera does seem supported.

When I go to http://blogsurvey.media.mit.edu/request, I get redirected to http://blogsurvey.media.mit.edu/browser and told:

"It appears that you are using an outdated or unsupported browswer. In order to participate in the MIT Weblog Survey, you'll need to upgrade to one of the following:

* Mozilla Firefox 0.6+ (Windows, Mac, Linux)
* Safari 1.2.1+ (Mac)

Opera

There have been a number of inquiries about the status of Opera support. In theory, the functionality of the survey should be supported by any version of Opera beyond 8.0. However, after over 6 hours of testing and debugging, for the life of me I can't get a working version. While I continue to figure this problem out, I apologize for the inconvenience, but I have to ask you to please use one of the other supported browsers. Thanks again, and sorry."

But I "only" have Opera 7.54.

Still, strange that they say "> 8.0, in theory" in one place and ">= 7.6" in another.

Hmm, I see. I personally don't use Opera, so I haven't tested it myself...I just saw that #about section :)

meh

That page seems wrong anyway, because it says > 8.0, yet doesn't support 8.01 (I presume he meant that he hopes >= 8.1 will work, but he doesn't know because obviously it's not out yet!).
