Hey guys, I have a small content website and I'm thinking of using some kind of miniaturized web board to add to its interactivity to perhaps boosts its "stickiness" among users. I don't want a full-fledged forum since that's a bit too much to back end work. I'm thinking more like some kind of elaborate comment system. Is there are script that can readily do this on a regular HTML site? I don't want to use wordpress if it doesn't have to come down to it. Thanks!
It involves a fair bit of work, I would recommend a CMS or blog system. If you want to try, it involves server side scripting, e.g. PHP, you will also need to interact with a data source, associate comments with your content by some form of ID, query the data source to fetch the comments, then you are going to want to add formatting codes such as the vbCode here or whatever you call it to allow things like bold text and so on. There may be tutorials on this, try: http://www.google.com/search?q=php+comment+system+tutorial
