I was just wondering if someone could explain to me how the guestbook option works with this layout. I saw some options for it in the customization page, but i never really got it. Any info would be helpfull.
If you enable the Guestbook in the customisation by specifying an entry id #, the following happen to that entry:
- a link is placed in the header to the Guestbook.
- the Guestbook entry is not shown in archive pages, month pages, day pages, etc. You can only get to it from the page with it's comments by directly linking to it.
- the entry is formatted differently (date is hidden, read comments link is hidden, the leave a comment becomes "sign guestbook" or whatever you specify)
- the page for the guestbook is formatted differently: the "comments" subheader defaults to "signatures", and when you are on the reply page, the "repy to" becomes "signing guestbook" and "reply form" becomes "signing form".
Mostly it's just a bunch of little things to make the entry seem different somehow.

The guestbook option is easy to "install"
Just make a Post that is titled *Your name's* Guestbook or whatever you want to call it.... Then put something into the body that says Something like, this is my guestbook, leave your messages here... or something like that.... then... if you look up at THIS entry, you'll see the long url and at the end there's numbers? 5108.html Well you take JUST the numbers of your guestbook part and enter THAT into Customize > Layout > entryID of guestbook.... click the override button then enter THAT number in there and your guestbook will automatically be set up and there'll be a link to it on your top headerbar.
