Email notification of new posting

Post by Kill Me Sarah »

If there were an easy way to do this, it would be cool if there were an automatic notification whenever the new songs get posted each week. It would save having to go to the site 4 million times a day to see if they're up yet :)

I was thinking it might be nice if there was a counter on the pages that says, "XX:XX Hours since last update"

You could just add your banners to your emails, then people would HAVE to see them.

How about an automated e-mail that goes out every day after the deadline with a different randomly generated excuse for why the new songs aren't up yet? :P
