GUESTBOOK


Interactivity draws many users to a site and by allowing your users to post comments you not only gain feedback on your site but let others view this feedback. Our Guestbook system gives you these options.


Setting up a Guestbook
You
will need to activate your Guestbook by logging into your Site Manager, scrolling down the page and clicking on the "Guestbook" link. You will then be taken to a page where you can either activate or edit your Guestbook. You have several options for your Guestbook:
  1. Administer your Guestbook: this allows you to delete any old threads for content or to save on disk space.
  2. Name of your Guestbook: this will be the name used on the Guestbook pages and as your Guestbook's title.
  3. Background Color: this will be used as the background for all your Guestbook pages.
  4. Background Image: this will be used as the background image for all your Guestbook pages.
  5. Text Color: this will be used as the standard text color on all Guestbook pages.
  6. Link Color: this will be used as the standard link color on all Guestbook pages.
  7. Table Background Color #1: this will be used as the background color for your Guestbook table header.
  8. Table Background Color #2: this will be used as the background color for your Guestbook general table.
  9. Table Text Color #1: this will be used as the text color for your Guestbook table header.
  10. Table Text Color #2: this will be used as the text color for your Guestbook general table.
  11. Visited Link Color: this will be used as the standard visited link color on all Guestbook pages.
  12. Header html: this allows you to add any desired html to the top of all Guestbook related web pages.
  13. Footer html: this allows you to add any desired html to the bottom of all Guestbook related web pages.

Once you have chosen all your settings, click the "Update Guestbook Settings" to make the settings take effect and to activate your Guestbook. To link to your Guestbook, simply copy the code provided at the end of the Guestbook setup page. You can edit this code however you want. You also can create your own custom page for people to enter their Guestbook entries.

Please note that you need to refresh (reload) the Guestbook page to see the your own posts. Some of our members also put a refresh notice on their guestbook page for their visitors.



Admin Features

The Guestbook feature comes with an admin section as well. In this section, you can delete any and all messages posted to your guestbook. To reach the Admin section simply go to your guestbook configuration page as explained above and click the Admin link. You will then see each message and a checkbox next to it. Click the checkbox of any messages you wish to delete and then click the delete button and messages will be removed.
