    I am trying to use guestbook script to act as a way to leave comments on an article.....

    Here is the code:

    <p><form action="/cgi-sys/guestbook.cgi" target=guestwindow>
    <input type="hidden" name="user" value="timonybe">
    <input type="hidden" name="action" value="addguest">
    <input type="hidden" name="basehref" value="http://testimonybeginswithatest.com">
    <input type="hidden" name="template" value="default">
    Comments: <textarea rows = 5 cols = 60 name="comments"></textarea><br>
    <input type="submit" value="Sign Guestbook">
    </form> </p>


    I just do not know how to set it up on my page.... Any suggestions?

    It's just the guestbook sign form.

    Do you have the file "/cgi-sys/guestbook.cgi"?

    Yes i do, its provided by the company i use to host my site, i wanted to use it as a way to leave comments on an article, in the same way that you are able to leave comments on a picture with myspace or facebook... Unless you know a better way

    Install a blog like wordpress, it has that function built right in. Post your articles and comments are already available.

    Or, if it's a freehost type of setup you are on, and they have a guestbook script, they very likely have a blog script as well. Check that out.

    Ok, so with Wordpress, they said i would have to use the whole program... All i want to use is the commenting part of it, i dont want the user to be able to post their own articles, i want to have control over that. So does anyone have any more suggestions?
