I'm building a link database where I collect all of the links I want to be listed myself. Eventually I will be emailing all of the actual web site owners to let them know that their site has been listed on my links site.

The problem is, since I'm adding the links myself as the administrator, I am also the Link Owner. What I would like to do is invite the web site owners to become the true Link Owner of their own link listing so that they can edit the description themselves.

I could do this manually, with some kind of email exchange but I was wondering if there was a way to automate the process. Similar to how the 'Validate Links' option is implemented where I can approve or deny a batch of links from a single form, sending out all the appropriate emails and so forth.

Also, it seems cumbersome for a person to have to register, get the validation code, paste that into the validation field, then send me an email asking to become the link owner, wait for me to make the changes and finally they have access to their link info. Even simplifying this into a single step would be a big help.

There's probably a more logical way to do this that's completely escaping me at the moment.

Thanks for your help,

Bryan
