You can also easily use the provided template to build a website guestbook from scratch.
An enhanced version is also available with many useful additional features.
If you want your visitors to comment on your photos, articles games, videos, or any other content on an unlimited number of pages, from a central script, check out the just released HTML Website Comments System ®.

Features

Unlike other guestbook and comments scripts, all our scripts are designed to let your visitors comment/leave a message on any EXISTING html page on your website by simply adding a snippet of code to the page. This makes it extremely easy to build a guestbook/add comment feature  that merges perfectly with your web site style, design and graphic layout. With the free and enhaced versions you can also use the provided template as it is, or modify it, to create a guestbook section on your web site ex-novo.

All our scripts come with strong anti-spam features that nowadays are a must for any website/page that allows users to post data. In the absence of such anti-spam features, any interactive page is bound to become full of junk/spam messages in a short period of time. The spammers use automated posting systems (bots) that are efficently blocked by our image verification system.

Visitors can leave their name, e-mail (optional) and a message. This information will be posted to the guestbook together with date and time of posting. All posts details are logged in a log file, including the poster's IP address (not visible to the public). The administrator is notified of new posts by an e-mail that contains all the details, including the posted message.

The administrator can access a password protected admin section.

Free Version vs Enhanced Version vs Website Comments System

  • The free version is not a demo, it is a popular, fully functional software currently in use on hundreds of websites worldwide. The free version has no compromises on security and features all the anti-spam features also found on the enhanced version except the posts moderation mode. The admin section of the free version allows guestbook configuration and the deletion of selected messages. No ads whatsoever, as in the other versions. The only requirement is a link back to this page

    As the name implies, the software is entirely free - Download now
        

  • The enhanced version has a number of additional powerful features related to both the management of the guestbook and to the guestbook appearance. The admin section allows the deletion/editing of the messages, the approval of new posts (if the moderation mode is activated) and the easy configuration of all the guestbook variables. The configuration section of the enhanced version gives access to a number of advanced features not available in the free version, see the features comparison table below for details.

  • The HTML Website Comments System is a sophisticated script that allows you to easily plugin comments to any page of an existing html/static website. Great if you have galleries of images, software collections, articles, games, movies, or any kind of content on which you wish your visitors to comment. There is no limit to the number of pages you can have visitors comment on, while controlling everything from a single, central script.

    This leaves you the freedom to build your website the traditional, easy and solid way: HTML. Use your favorite web editor, such as dreamweawer or frontpage to build your site, and then plugin the interactivity of a blogging system with our Website PHP Comments System. In the Website Comments System admin section you can configure the system, set global variables, set the default configuration for the new guestooks, create an unlimited number of guestbooks (that is adding comments feature to any number of html pages on your website), edit/block/delete guestbooks, edit/approve/delete the posts in any guestbook.

    The WCS is easy and intuitive to setup and use. If however all you need is a one page guestbook or adding comments to just one page, it is probably more convenient to go with the free or enhanced guestbook versions as these will allow a more immediate setup. On the other hand, if you plan to have visitors comment on several pages, the central control, additional features and increased flexibility provided by the WCS can't be beated.
