Dear developers,
I was looking through the event plugins last night and noticed one to do with e-mail notification called "serendipity_event_mailer", which I then installed. When I started to configure it, though, I noticed it requires a specific e-mail address or mailing list, which I don't have, so this plug-in is of little use to me. What I was actually looking for (and hoping to discover) was a way of enabling interested visitors to my blog to sign up to be notified about new posts by e-mail, which is a feature that blogs based on other systems possess. Has a plug-in that does this been designed for s9y yet, I wonder?
In connection with that, I'd also like to have a 'follow me' button on my blog that allows new visitors to be notified about new posts, which is also something other blog systems include. Perhaps I've overlooked these plug-ins in s9y, but I've been through the list a number of times and haven't spotted any. Could they be added soon, please?
Regards,
Carl

There are two options for this:Carl @ ATS wrote:What I was actually looking for (and hoping to discover) was a way of enabling interested visitors to my blog to sign up to be notified about new posts by e-mail, which is a feature that blogs based on other systems possess.
- By entry. Configuration: "Allow users to subscribe to entries", or
- Make your Users notice to subscribe to the blogs rss feed(s!) (recommended) using the options in the syndication plugin
