Guest Book

[Carole Hall]

When you want to put a guestbook to your web site and have the links, "Sign
my Guest Book" and "Read my Guest Book", do you link them both to the
guestlog.htm file? The template wording says it would need reloaded for
someone's entry to be seen, so how would it work if they are both linked to
the same file? I'm using FrontPage 2000 and I am trying to get a web site
ready to unveil.

When you want to put a guestbook to your web site and have the links,

"Sign
my Guest Book" and "Read my Guest Book", do you link them both to the
guestlog.htm file?

No, you only link to the file with the form (whatever you decide to name
it). "Guestlog.htm" is merely the name of the log file that keeps the
comments. I named mine "guest_book.htm".

See my example here http://home.comcast.net/~vikenk/guest_book.htm

I don't understand. Then if people want to read other people's posts before
they post or instead of posting, how is it done? I see "Read my Guest Book"
all the time. (Bear with me. I'm dumb about things like this.)

They go to your guest-book page and read the previous entries, which
are normally displayed below the form. Then, if they wish, they can
add their own comment.
