change comment notification email to alert to new posts

  • Whenever a new comment is made, the admin receives an automatic email. What do I change so that these emails are also sent whenever a new post is made? (my site has several admins, so we need this feature)

    from the description that looks like it will allow me to do what I want to do. But just in case that plugin stops getting updated, how do I do it in my code?
