Guestbook 1.0 Program Updated by Nathan P. Wilkerson March 13, 2000 THIS SCRIPT WILL NOT WORK UNLESS YOU TAKE THE STEPS BELOW: 1.) Unzip the file and create a directory within your public_html directory called guestbook, upload all of the files into this directory, make sure to upload the guest.cgi in ASCII mode. 2.) Edit guest.cgi to reflect your account information and domain name/email address. Details of this are below. 3.) Change the permissions on guest.cgi to 755 and guestbook.html to 777 and hit enter. 4.) Modify add.html and guestbook.html if you would like to change the appearance and/or links available on these pages. (*Note: This is not required but recommended if you want a personalized guestbook.) 5.) Add a link from your other pages to add.html and guestbook.html so that visitors can easily access your guestbook. (ie. View my Guestbook 6.)

If so, let $mail = 1 and type in your e-mail address. Otherwise, #type $mail = 0 and let the $mailto be blank. $mail = 1; $mailto = 'youremail@yourname.com'; ################################ Thank you, Nathan Wilkerson http://www.npsis.com support@npsis.com
