Responding to an entry

[Arlene]

I have a blog. I want it to be more active for the visitors so I wanna add a form where they could reply to my entries. How do I do that?

here's an example: http://syrophenikan.org/blog/archives/00000031.html#comments

Can anyone help me?

This is standard HTML, just add a form with an input type of textarea.

Once that's done you need a place to post the results to, it has to be a server-side script to get the new input & then do something with it, like add it to your comments page or something.

Or, you could have it send it to you as an email and then you either add it to your page or not, by hand. (NOTE: having a form post an email message is more complex due to security issues and in most cases it's a big pain. There's no way for you to insure it will work for all clients. Best look for a CGI or other mailer you can use on your server, or use one of the free ones on some other server.)

There is no way for client-side JavaScript to add client entered data to your server-side pages.
