I'm not sure I understand the question, so feel free to correct me, but isn't it possible to implement an external guestbook page with iframes?
@onlinedevil i apologize for being so confusing T__T I meant the opposite; not having to use an external source! If I had a choice, I’d rather not have the messages sent to me managed by an external host … does that make sense?
ohhh, so that's where the root directory went!
