What is an automated contact list?  (top)
The automated contact list is the easiest way to keep your friends and family up to date about your web site. Every person you add to the list can set how frequently they want to be notified when new photos have been added to your site. Now, you no longer need to remember to send emails to friends and family to visit your site.

What is a manual contact list?  (top)
A manual contact is one that does not receive automatic notifications when new photos have been added to your site. Any message that gets sent to this person will include a link to your site with the visitor password, if necessary. You can switch a contact between manual and automatic notification by clicking on the Set Type link.

What is a pending contact list?
 (top)
Visitors to your site who want to be automatically notified when your site has been updated can request to be added to your automatic contact list. You simply need to click on the Approve or Deny link next to the person's name. If the person is approved, they will be moved to your automatic contact list.
