    James van Leeuwen asked me a while back about setting the website up to automatically email people whenever an important news item is posted. So I’ve setup a notifications page and on there you can register your email address to receive email notifications when news items are added.

    I’ll add a news feature about it if it’s functioning okay for everyone. It seems to be working okay for me so far – although I have no use for it whatsoever since I’m the one posting them <img decoding=” title=”Tongue” />

    And I forgot about add the FaceBook instructions, I’ll try to remember to do that on the weekend.
