   I want to write a plugin that does something when a new post is made.

   Is there a way to have this plugin detect when a new post is made and then run some function?

   Please let me know if anyone knows!

   Thanks.

   just a quick question.

   I have a function that gets passed the post_id. So I want to get 2 things, the content and the category.

   I use:
   

   $usepostid = get_post($post_ID);
            $sendcontent = $usepostid->post_content;

   to get the content - but i saw that post_category doesn't work anymore. It says to use get_post_category() - but only within the loop. How can I get the post category ID outside the loop ?

   Thanks!
