   hi blazin,

   I haven't used any of the mail plugins but this link has a bunch. If you do find one you like let us know. Just bump this again after some time if you don't get some better advice.

   Here's the link

   don (el paso)

   tried a couple out...... no luck... im looking for one where the subscriber doesnt have to be a member of the blog, rather just input their email to receive the blog updates.... hopefully one day i'll find something :)

   this is confusing. what do you want, a subscriber plugin or an email this post to a friend plugin?

   Theyre different, I use both, and neither necessitate that the user for each be a registered member.

   i didnt say "email this post to a friend" ;) i'd like one where the visitor puts in their email and name in a form, then every time i make a post, the entry is sent to the email. which one are you using?

   I use feedblitz.com for a (free) service that does exactly that.

   If you use feedburner.com, they have a similar offering.

   I know what you didnt say, or I wouldnt have asked for clarification.

   I offer users the ability to subscribe to comments, and send a post to a friend.

   what you want appears to be right here:

   http://blog.watershedstudio.com/2006/10/wordpress-email-notification-plugin-v232-alpha/

   and judging by the fact that its being used on his/her own site:

   http://blog.watershedstudio.com/ <-- on the right hand side

   it certainly appears you dont

   have to be "a member of the blog"

   fwiw, i found that via google:

   the plugin available from watershedstudio.com looks good, but in the install directions, there's a bit of info missing--namely how many fields the table needs. I posted a comment on the watershedstudio.com blog entry about this plugin, but no answer yet. anyone here happen to know how many fields the table needs?
