Creating a guestbook. How?

I'm creating a website at the moment and I want a good guestbook for people to leave comments if they wish. I was wondering if it is possible to create on in Dreamweaver? Is there like a tutorial or something?
Anyone to help?

(For the record I don't know php or any other language other than HTML and I'm limited with my knowledge of that. To answer people's questions: No, I won't learn them, not because I'm lazy, but because I don't think logically and most definetly not mathematically and would have to much trouble with it. I'm left handed and only have a creative side).

Thanks!

As far as I know you have 3 options:
1.) Buy a Guestbook
2.) Get a free one (like from Bravenet or something that will have ads)
3.) Code one

I don't think Dreamweaver has anything that can help you. A Guestbook is a rather complicated thing actually since you would have to store the entries somehow (like in a database) so you would need to know a coding language. http://www.daydreamgraphics.com/ has a tutorial about making one but it uses PHP if I'm not mistaken.

Otherwise if you know how to install php related stuff, got to hotscripts there are lots of free guestbooks on there that people have coded and you simply have to install yourself. Good Luck! :thumb:

the one i use on my site is very simple, and looks pretty nice, you might need aLITTLE php knowledge

Thanks MyrrhLynn and glitch. Glitch, I may get my brother to help code the php one you use (he's quite good with programming).
Thanks again!
