I want to add an interactive updates page to my site?

I want to add an updates page to my site, but I want it to only show which pages have been updated since a person last visited the site, similar to the new posts feature on forums. Anyone know any way of doing this? thanks

There are a few ways. Some more advanced than others.

You could either create a file or do a database table, and everytime you update a page, post to that file/table and state your updates to whatever file you updated and it will then update it.

If you want it to be semi automatic (fully automatic wouldn't be possible if you wanted to have comments on the changes), then you would need to create a script that would go through all the files under whatever directories you wanted to check and check the modified timestamp on the file and compare it to another timestamp and if they are not the same, add the update to the page.
