ok, i set up monitoring with ChangeDetection.com for this site…
look over there to the right, all the way at the top, right below the search box, and you will see a link that says “click here to be notified by email when this site is updated”…
pretty self-explanatory…
click that, it will take you to a page where you can put in your email address and then, every time i make a new post, you will get an email and you won’t have to remember to check in to the site…
ok, two things about it…
firstly, as it says, it is “spam free”, i have been using this service for quite some time with a unique email address and have never gotten an uninvited email from them…
secondly, if i set it up right, i have blocked monitoring of everything on the sidebar… so, like, if i add a new link or change my contact info you WILL NOT get an email about it… that is a good thing, since little things change over there and you don’t want to know about every “chatterbox” post or new link that gets added to the “looking at” section.. it is only set up to notify about new posts on the main page…
on that note, it will not notify about any other part of the site changing, such as new pics uploaded… but, i always make a post when i do something like that, so really, post notification is all you really need…
and, i might add, you can use changedetection.com to monitor ANY page on my site or any other site, once you get the hang of using their service…
anyway, this is something that i am mainly adding for people i know “IRL” that hear me refer to this or that that has been posted to my site, usually followed by me asking when the last time you went to my site was (and you know who you are)… so, click on that link and you’ll always be the first to know when i post something…
