I appreciate it. I'll look at adding a standard login mechanism this weekend.

Bottom line is I want this thing dead-simple, but this shouldn't add too much overhead, I suppose.

Because of the Facebook thing I haven't logged in yet, and this may be answered if I do, but how do you deal with time zones?

You pick it from the list and I use it to calculate the difference between the current time in your zone and the time you want the message, then add the difference to GMT time on my server. It was simple once I got the dots connected and figured out PHPs DateTime class. :)
