    Default Multiple guestbooks per site solved

    Hi folks,

    I had asked for solutions in the "Multiple guestbooks per site?" thread back
    on 2/3/10. Having since found a good solution, I wanted to share the
    results. My goal was to add guestbooks (GB's) at the end of every article on
    my site, to allow readers to post comments. I looked at various GB systems
    and finally ended up with WCS, available here:
    http://cellbiol.com/scripts/free_php...guestbook.html

    I used the $20 paid version and received great support from Andrea, the
    developer. BTW, Andrea is a biology researcher in real life and I imagine
    that WCS is mostly a labor of love. I currently have GB's on ten articles on
    the site: http://www.tronola.com/
    ---feel free to take a look.

    It took a little hacking to get WCS just the way I wanted it (mostly
    removing features) but now it is very easy to deploy additional GB's. The
    html code for the GB is encapsulated in a text block which I can copy and
    position as an object in NOF.

    I will be happy to answer any questions about what I have learned with WCS,
    if anyone wishes to use the system. (I have no affiiliation with WCS.)

    I am very happy that readers of the website now have the opportunity to
    leave feedback and comments on the individual articles there. Hope that the
    next NOF developer to need this feature can benefit from this. If there is
    interest, perhaps I could do an article about it (though that would not
    normally be within the scope of my site).

    I know this is the NetO news group...... BUT....... A web site like that
    would be a perfect candidate for blog software like wordpress which has the
    comments feature/function built into it.

    Hi Mike,

    That option had been mentioned in the original discussion around 2/3/10.
    However, the articles on my site were already built-out. Unless I were to
    reformat the articles in WordPress (WP), I would be trying to use only the
    talkback features of WP, without the blog itself. Would also need to have
    multiple instances of the talkbacks in the various articles on the site. Not
    sure if WP supports the multiple instances. I usually think of a blog as a
    single entity.

    So I wanted a reader comments solution which I could just drop into each
    article on the existing site. Thank you for the comment, though.
