Creating replies

New to iWeb here....

Trying to make a user feedback page. A place where past users can go and make a comment about the company, and possible new people can ask questions. I tried using a "blog" template, but I didn't see any posting links or anything. I want to make it something easy like how we have here on the forums, but not having to create a user names and all that. And if at all possible, allow (only) me to edit posts.

Thanks guys!

There's a way to create a Comment window with the HTML snippet Widget that will let viewers add their comments and email them to you. The Code is

<FORM ACTION="mailto:*your email address ?subject=Text to show in Topic field* " ENCTYPE="text/plain" method="post">

COMMENTS:

<TEXTAREA NAME="Comment" ROWS=5 COLS=50></TEXTAREA>

<INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Send Form ">
<INPUT TYPE=reset VALUE="Reset Form">
</FORM>

(thanks to duannisok)

This test page shows what it looks like (at the bottom).

You would be better off using the Blog template. You can add blog entries yourself and once you have you need to go to Inspector and enable comments and then when you publish, comments will be enabled and people can leave comments under any blog entry that they wish to.

If you just want comments to be e-mailed to you for your own use that no one else can see, then copy the code and insert it into the HTML snippet.
