After a little bit of playing with PHP this evening, I’ve finally managed to get the server to send email via my current ISP. It’s easy at work because there’s no authentication required and it’s just always been setup to work. At home, it was a little more difficult and after a few hitches (complaints of non-existant domains, and so on), it’s finally working.

The reason I’m writing, and you’re reading this is because I’m wondering whether people would find it useful to receive an email whenever a post’s been made. There’s hardly any registered users here as it is, and I suspect not all of them would make use of such a thing. Obviously, such a feature would require people to register, if they wanted to receive email. As part of the registration I’ve already been asking for the email address (in anticipation for this and other possible features down the track) so I already have your details.

So, is this something the people who visit the site want, or wouldn’t you use it? Email me if you’d prefer.
