Why not send clout a PM?
As for me, you might as well be speaking germanese.
It would be difficult to write one to send them an e-mail everytime the site was updated. The more practical approach would be to have a mailing list that they can sign up for and you send them an e-mail manually each time the site is updated. There are many places online that have free mailing list scripts that you could find with Google.
I haven't done that sort of stuff, I'd expect face or Samuraid to know more about this than me
Is your site database driven, or html, or both?
It's not mine. It's for a friend. His website is run from his own computer, his site is built on PHP, php reads directory structures, builds pages.
Since his site is built in PHP, have him check out the PHP <a href="http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php" target="_blank">mail()</a> function as he could use it to easily send e-mails to anyone on a list whenever something on the site is updated.
I wish I could give more assistance than this, but I'm not sure what would be the best thing to do without seeing exactly how the site runs.
