Well, why do you think I mentioned your site as an example!? :D

That too would be nice if it is possible, but it wouldn't work as a
replacement of what I suggested. But that's probably not what you meant
anyway.

I would never remember to add this; I use the webserver to do it for me.
If you are using Apache, you can make your page be an shtml file and use

<!--#echo var="DATE_MODIFIED" -->

Here is a more complicated example that I use for displaying the last
modified time and the size of files that I'm linking to:

<!--#config timefmt="%b %e, %Y" -->
<!--#config sizefmt="abbrev" -->

<ul>
<li><a href="Rules/">The Rules</a> (Last uploaded <!--#flastmod file="Rules" -->)</li>

<li><a href="The%20Game.pdf">Adobe PDF version of "Gods & Monsters"</a>
(Last uploaded <!--#flastmod file="The Game.pdf" -->; <!--#fsize file="The Game.pdf"
-->b)</li>

<li><a href="The%20Game.rtf.gz">Rich Text Format version (gzipped)</a>
(Last uploaded <!--#flastmod file="The Game.rtf.gz" -->; <!--#fsize file="The
Game.rtf.gz" -->b)</li>

<li><a href="The%20Game.html">One-file HTML version</a>
(Last uploaded <!--#flastmod file="The Game.html" -->; <!--#fsize file="The Game.html"
-->b)</li>

</ul>

I try to automate stuff like this whenever possible :*)

Now that would be great!

I've opted for the 'Latest News' way of doing things on my site.  I find 
it a bit more useful than just using a 'page last updated' because it 
lets people know what has actually changed.

What it would do Rune, is show which sites have had a recent change. This
would aid in looking at a list of site to see which ones have had changes.
It would be something like the page last updated scripts that are on many
sites. The difference would just be were they are read. Although, I do
wonder if a script could be done like a latest news that could be updated by
the site owner and then the webring could tap into it....
hmm...

Hi Rune, you recently wrote in povray.general:

> Hmm, don't know that one. How does it work?
This one is user-based, not host-based. I mean that the surfer that
wants to be reminded when a webpage has changed, enters the URL and
his email. NetMind then checks the page daily and will send you a
notification if it's changed.

I added a mailing list but decided it wasn't really needed as I have a recent
update and full update list. It's enough work to update it anyway (I should be
doing that more in bulk probably, though it's nice to see a page that
continually grows).

But I did make a guestbook. :)

I have a "News" list, with the site updates, on the index page of my 
site, but I doubt there is enough interest to bother setting up a 
mailing list. Besides, I rarely update it, and the updates are usually 
minor when I do...and I don't always remember to update the News items, 
so I don't think having another thing to remember would work well. :-)

I find that my web site sometimes goes for long periods without 
updates...I'm wondering how other people manage their page updates. I'm 
thinking of trying to update it on a specific week each month unless I'm 
releasing software or something else that would be worth an exception, 
has anyone else tried this kind of system?
