How do you create a comments page with dreamweaver?


I'm a dreamweaver newbie and have CS3. How do I add a link to my site where people can leave comments & reply to each others' comments?

do you know if godaddy has such capabilities?

You'll need to install software on the server that allows comments to be added to pages. This requires some forthought, because you'll want to be able to screen out inappropriate comments, and you'll want to block spam (comments that are nothing but links to other websites).

The good news is that the software to do all this is open-source, and completely free. Have a look at Drupal, Joomla, and WordPress.

You CAN make good use of Dreamweaver to design the site, but not in the traditional way... you'll need to learn about themes (templates to control the site appearance), and if you need HTML in the actual CONTENT (the page text), then you can do your writing in Dreamweaver and simply cut-and-paste it into the web forms for adding content to the CMS (Content Management System) of your choice.

My own sites are mostly in Drupal, all have the comment capability. Have a look (and feel free to comment)...

Dreamweaver won't help much. You need software running on the server that accepts data from users, stores it somewhere (usually a database) and generates HTML from that data.
