I have been asked by a site we host to provide a "be notified when this page changes" form on each page (where the user would type in their email address and then be signed up for a notification everytime the page changes) Is there a way to accomplish this functionality? I know you can set up alerts on lists and libraries, but what about an individual page?

If the pages are themselves being stored in a library than the alert functionality is available for them as well.Mike G.

Depends on how the page was changed. Pages can be stored in libraries, and the libraries can have alerts. If the page is edited in SharePoint Designer or edited externally and then uploaded, then the alert will be generated. If the page hosts web parts and the web part content changes, then the page itself has not changed and there will be no alert. If you edit a "Basic" page, or add remove web parts on a web part page, those are content edits and not page edits, so there will be no alert. Layout Pages in a publishing site are "content" and edits to them will trigger alerts.Mike Smith TechTrainingNotes.blogspot.com

That's what I figured. And I should have been more clear that these would be anonymous users so OOTB alert functionality wouldn't work anyways. I'd much rather have them just type their email into a box, that gets added to a list with the current URL (somehow?) and then a workflow would email everyone on that list when the page is published. I have no idea how I'd set something like that up though.

See my list in the previous message. Basic pages, web part pages, custom pages created outside of SharePoint using HTML text editors, SharePoint Designer, etc.? An event receiver (think very simple workflow) could do what you want, depending on the type of page. Mike Smith TechTrainingNotes.blogspot.com

Sorry...It would be any changes. I understand that "content" is different than the web parts. Ideally it would kick off the emails when the page is "published"....very seldom is someone just changing a web part without editing the page. Even if it would have to be a business process that the editors would have to be aware they have to check out and publish the page to fire the alerts would be ok.
