How do I create a guestbook?

[SimonAdell]

I'd like to create a simple guestbook page on my site, where visitors can post brief comments for all to see.&nbsp;&nbsp;I imagine I'll want to use Dreamweaver's built-in forms for this.&nbsp;&nbsp;Not being particularly technical myself, I thought I'd ask if anyone could give me a brief overview on the steps to follow before I spend several hours muddling through the manual.&nbsp;&nbsp;I need to know what type of form to insert, and the underlying CGI or Javascript code to use.<br>Thank you!

&nbsp;&nbsp;Your best bet is for you to first find the script you want to use, either Java or CGI, then from there see what the script needs from you.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Otherwise you might just end up building an entire section to your site that wont fit the script you like, and you'll have to redo everything from scratch.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There are plenty of free scripts out there, just seach for them using any search engine, use keywords like &quot;Free CGI&quot; or &quot;Free Java Scripts&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp;Tons of site will appear, and most offer simple guestbooks.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On the other hand, if this is not a comercial site, whay not look into offsite hosting, I find that <A HREF="
