FP 2003 - Guestbook

I'm sorry to trouble you guys. I know there must be an easy explanation, but
I can't figure it out.
I put up a guestbook on my website. It's supposed to be public. I can't
see the public comments on the website. I did get one through e-mail,
because I routed them through e-mail as well.
I figure it has something to do with the log, but I can't figure it out.
Can someone help me please?
www.joshcasaubonfans.com is the website if you need that info. Thanks!

1) you need to move the file guestlog.htm to the _private folder and make sure you guestbook is pointing to it there
(by default the _private folder has write permissions)
2) to see the guest posts you need to (either in that page after the guestbook form) or on another page add a FP Include page
pointing to the guestlog.htm

Thank you for responding.
I moved the file to the private folder. How do I "point" the guestbook there?
Then I have to create another page and point it to the file guestlog.htm -
how?
Why don't they tell you these things in the "how to create a guestbook" help
article?
Thanks again. It's much appreciated.
