A simple way of interacting with clients visiting a web site is to allow
them to sign a guestlist and leave some comments. A small form can be designed
to facilitate such a task.
This guestbook script was created by Matt Wright. You can find more info
on this script and many other great scripts at:

The HTML Source for the
Guestlist
The HTML files below represent the skeleton of a guestlist which will
store the guest entries. The pages can be customized to your own liking.
Be sure and use a plain ASCII text editor (like Notepad), not Frontpage,
Wordpad, Word or any HTML editor. These will goof up the code for the guestbook,
and it won't work.
The main guestbook page -
guestbook.html
The AddGuest Form -
addguest.html
Modify these to coordinate with your site, then upload them to a directory
called "guestbook".
If you are unfamiliar with the FORM HTML element, or would like to
learn more about forms, the following URL is an excellent resource:

The Guestbook Script
Guestbook.pl
- Place in your cgi-bin
Guestbook.cfg
- Modify and place in your cgi-bin (Be sure and edit it in notepad,
not in your html editor or word processor!)
Once you have completed the installation successfully, email
support@newcreations.net, and we will change the file permissions... then
you will have a working guestbook!
