Promo, I only have one address in my MT notify list… the address for my regular one-way notify list that I run on my server (or one could do it via yahoogroups, notifylist.com, whatever). This really simplifies things: people can sub and unsub themselves, etc., and it's much easier to sort through all of the names and such.

When I set up MT's notify list, I didn't have to put in the email address of a bunch of people, just that server notify list's posting address.

Plus, if I want to send out an email that doesn't announce a new post, I can just send a regular email to the mailing list like normal.

Thanks for the tips! I just have so many name in my mailing list I almost can't manage it.

Thanks again!

Promo - since I haven't done any blogrolling yet, I'm not sure *exactly* what you are asking for. But here's how I keep up with my sidebar of reads (which I think is what blogrolling is based on) - I have a file that's just the list of links. No headers, just a long list with thing that look like this:

zalary

I have that saved as reads.html in my directory, and then include that in my sidebar with some php:

Then, I just change that one file when I find new reads… and it automatically updates it in all the places that I keep a copy of the list

as for your #2 question, there isn't a way that I know to change how your notify list displays. With MT2.0, it changed so it was sorted alphabetically instead of the random order that didn't really have order! Probably could add a request on the MT forums "request feature" forum

Promo - Not sure what you're asking for…? Could you be more specific?

(Sorry Kristine - this doesn't relate to your post much. LOL!)

You should have a sidebar-miniblog where requests for scripts could be posted. LOL, like the one I am about to make….

1) Isn't there some way we can make our own "Blogrolling" application? I would think with php and mySQL, this should be do-able (if one knew how to code such things, which I do not)

2) Is there any mod out there to allow me to sort the MT notification list in various ways? (alpha, by date, by domain, etc?)

Sorry to post as a comment, but until you add a Forum, I wasn't sure who to send this to!
