New "Watcher" Now Available To Follow Site Updates!

This is really cool, IMO:  I've installed a really sweet little module that will allow you to "watch" posts that you're interested.  Quite simply, it will toggle on/off and give you access to receiving email when a post is updated/edited/commented/etc.  I've set up some basic defaults that I think most people will want most of the time, but if you want to change your Watcher settings, you can log in and go to your profile page.  You'll see a "My Watched Posts" tab that brings up your Personal Binder of all the stuff you're watching.  Nice!

In there you can also change up the settings as you like.  You can choose to disable the defaults or turn on the "Sharing" option and let other registered users see the posts you're watching.  That's interesting, but I don't know why anyone would want it.  Heh.

For now, if you post a comment, you will automatically have the option to watch that post for replies.  This will hopefully solve the problem where I'm missing comment replies on some of my sites!  Doh!

So, to watch a post/thread, look for the link titled "You are not watching this post, click to start watching."  When you're already watching a post, you'll see another link to turn off watching, as well as a direct link to your personal Watcher Binder.  Again... nice!!

OK, enough on this topic.  I think this is really great and ought to help people keep tabs on stuff their interested in.  You can even watch something as an unregistered visitor -- but I haven't tested that yet to see how it works, TBH.  I need to stop playing with this stuff and get back to work.  :)
