## Description

I run multiple blogs and have the ability for people to sign up and write content
for me. I was disappointed that WordPress does not have anything built it to alert
me with an email notification when a new author writes something. I don�t log into
the sites unless I have to, so new content may sit for a while without being noticed.
I did find 1 plugin that would accomplish the email, but it was buggy. So I�ve written
my own and am willing to share it with you. Specifically this plugin is designed
to email you when an author saves a draft. Now there are some additional settings,
but check them out below. As always, suggestions are welcome, just leave them in
the comments along with any bugs you might encounter.

#### Draft Notify Features
