 * Hi Guys
    Is there a way for an email to be sent out when an author writes a post?
   I know this happens for comments. Would be handy.
 * Thank you

 * A lot of individuals are kind enough to volunteer in these forums. And, a few
   individuals were kind of enough to include a search function in these forums.
   So, please be kind enough to use it. You’ll be surprised when you find 506 results
   for “Email notification”.

 * I am working on this also. As “macmanx” points out, there are a lot of posts 
   to be found (but not if you are so stupid as to search for, say “mail list” instead
   of “Email notification”:)). However, most of them are a year or more old and 
   don’t really answer this simple question: has anyone used [this plugin](http://watershedstudio.com/portfolio/software/wp-email-notification.html#config)
   and how well does it work with V1.5+?
 * Thanx

 * Thanks, macmanx and DD.
    I did do a search before, didn’t look hard enough, I
   guess. Went back and found the same thing DD mentions above. Will getback when
   I try it. Greg

 * If I had to give a recommendation, it would also be for Skippy’s Subscribe2 plugin.

 * Hi macmanx, just tried skippys plugin. Works fine.
 * Tried the Email Notification plugin too, and had a problem. When activated, the
   Manage tab for it had the wrong url – so couldn’t find the index file.
 * And skippy’s seems a lot easier to use, too.

 * Thanx for the “heads-up”. I’ll give skippy’s plug in a try.
