Photo Notifications
Posted by Stuart at 06:53 PM on September 04, 2005For most of the time that I've had this website, there has been a way to get an email every time the website was updated. I have been using Bloglet to accomplish this and it has worked out fairly well over the years.
(If you want to receive an email every time I update this front page, type in your email address on the right menu, under "Notify Me")
I have also tried to use Bloglet on my Photo Album, but it has never worked. Why? Bloglet only sends out emails if the date on the post is the same as today's date. I always post the pictures with the date that the picture was taken, not the date that it was posted. So even though many people have signed up for "automatic notifications", no one has actually ever received one.
So, with the new version of Movable Type that I installed this weekend, I have decided to use its built-in notification system for the Photo Album. There is a sign-up box on the Main Photo Page, but if you would like to sign up from here, just fill in your email address and click the "Sign up for Photo Updates" button below. The next time I add a group of photos to that page, you will receive a notification email telling you to come check 'em out.
