Fred's Ramblings

I have been looking for a script that will allow subscribers to this blog to receive email notifications when a new blog post has been added. I have been told to use the RSS/Atom option that the system provides, but if the user doesn’t have an RSS reader, all he will get is a file that will have to be opened in order to see what the contents are. What is going to make it difficult to implement is that the posts are inserted into files, rather than a database and up to this point, I have not been able to figure out how to set up the email notification. I will keep trying however, if for no other reason than to learn a different aspect of the php language. Wish me luck.
