    Here's the unofficial documentation:

    • Password protected admin area to delete posts
    • HTML code stripped
    • BBCode support
    • Easily change text strings, fonts, colors and other properties of the guestbook.
    • Uses an inline frame to display it’s contents, so you can put it anywhere in your website!

    Extra instructions:
    1. Upload 'guestbookdb.php' on your server.

    You can use the FTP Manager add-on (BlueFTP) to upload and change permissions of the 'guestbookdb.php' file.
    a) Login to the FTP server of your website using the BlueFTP.
    b) Browse to the folder where you've published the guestbook.
    c) Upload 'guestbookdb.php'
    d) Select the file and use Properties to set the permissions to 777
    You only have to do this once.

          Hi,

          Im eager to try out this guest book.
          May I enquire where to get this 'guestbookdb.php' file?
          Or should I save the page as guestbookdb in php format?

          Thank you!
          Cheers,
          Eric PSF

            Is the guest book tutorial available yet? If so, I can't find it on the list with the other tutorials.

            Thanks in advance!
