Add Guest Book
|
Wnki allows for the conversion of a page named 'guestbook.html' into a fully functional guest book. It's easy to do and fun for your viewers to use.
|
First let me restate: this will only work on pages names 'guestbook.html'.
Second even though you may, if you wish, put more than one guest book on your website we don't recommend it. It gets confusing.
So for the least confusing, simplest approach put the guestbook.html file in your root directory -- the same one with your top index.html file.
- #insertguestbook#
- This will put a title, some markers and the template text into the page. Thus creating a fully functional guest book.
- Edit title, top matter and footer perhaps.
-
You will probably want to add text on top and bottom of guest book. But before doing that add on entry to the guest book so you can see what it is going to look like. This will get you oriented before making changes.
- Add links throughout your site.
-
The code to view your guest book is something like:
<a href="/guestbook.html">Click here to view my guest book</a>
The code to sign the guest book is something like:
<a href="/~dom/cgi-bin/eguest.pl">Click here to sign my guest book</a>
Remember the ~dom must be changed to ~(username). Where (username) is the username of your domain. You can often find this by right clicking on the logger gif at the bottom of the page, copy the image location, then paste that image location into a notepad. This will show the username for the domain.
