Hey, can someone help me out, I want to make a very simple guestbook, basically I just want to know how to get a form posted to a page, so i can have a simple guestbook with name, comments etc.
The only reason I dont get one from a guestbook site is that they are loaded with ads, and Im not gonna pay for code. It's just not cricket.
If someone could help me, that would be great.

You will need to use a scripting language such as Perl or PHP.
Your webhost will need to allow scripting languages.

Do a search on Google for "simple PHP guestbook" or "simple Perl guestbook".

PHP or Perl ... whichever you choose and whichever your host allows.
PHP (along with MySQL) would be my choice, but your programming
background will be the determining factor.

The script will need to be installed, customized, and configured. This will
require some scripting knowledge on your part.
