Do You Have a Guestbook on your Website?

Do you have a guestbook on your website? If you do, please share the link to the guestbook, or your website which has a guestbook link we can follow.

Here is my guestbook: Shannon Kay’s Guestbook
Or you can go to ShannonKay.com and click the Guestbook link.

I’d like to do some guestbook hopping and sign other people’s guestbooks!

I’ve had one for absolutely ages. Something else I use from Bravenet is their Guest Map.

Divergent Ray’s Guestbook

Speaking of guestbook hopping -

Sometime during my travels through old websites I came across Guestbookbutterflies, which was a collective that dedicated themselves to visiting and signing guestbooks. You had to apply to be visited and if your site passed muster then they would sign and leave a gift (which I think was a graphic of some sort). I thought that was such a neat idea.

Anyway, I hope you have fun on your guestbook journeying! I think it’s a great idea.

I have two. A guestbook for the directory site and one on my personal blog (link for that up in the menu).

Great idea, have a great time exploring.

I should also go through this thread as it gets longer and do some guestbook hopping…

i do, as well! it’s here.

@DivergentRays the guestbook butterflies are such a fun concept! i’m now mulling over ideas for something similar… maybe a traveler’s journal theme or something instead of butterflies…

I love how long it seems like you’ve kept your guestbook! I definitely had them on my websites in the 1990’s, but hadn’t had one in a long time.

I feel like I vaguely remember the guestbook butterflies. So fun!

I’ve got one at starbreaker.org, but the form is located at atabook.org. I manually copy new entries over to my website’s guestbook page.

I don’t really have a guestbook with full comments, but I do have a sort of a “sign my page” functionality for folks with fediverse accounts here:

(You have to scroll down a bit to the end of the page.)

This is based on a project I made for my “fediverse invitation for artists” open letter.

Hi, I do Document. Used Dimden’s guestbook service, I had been going to make my own but I’m too busy rn :((

yes, i have one here, emma's guestbook it is just a form captured with javascript. the backend is running on supabase but i may opt to self host pocketbase instead

i wasn’t going to post it here yet but someone signed it recently so i may as well

just a heads up. you won’t really get any info that you submitted a comment, and it won’t show up right away. every few days i log into supabase and will approve comments that meet the criteria of being a decent human being

Even though it’s not very complicated code, I’m pretty proud of my guestbook since it’s one of the first things I coded that was out of the scope of the Wagtail tutorial, and I started it around the time that they announced 123guestbook (I think?) was closing so that made me feel good about my decision to not go static so I could be in charge of the dynamic elements of my website.

I just started my guestbook powered by Atabook last year.

Because I removed the blog and thus the comments section from my site, I decided to add a guestbook. Big ups to Kalechips for the script!

i have an atabook guestbook, though i haven’t figured out how to customize it fully yet so the stuff is readable =A= i might just have to take the L and find another background for it…

Ray, I didn’t see your comment earlier. I was a member of the Guestbook Butterflies. We were all women, and the group was created by Regina, in the Netherlands. She made the graphic gifts to leave in the guestbooks. Each butterfly had a list of sites to visit. It was good fun. But sadly, as personal websites faded away as people ran to Facebook and the like, it ended.
