When you requested your RootsWeb Guestbook, you were given HTML like this to use
in your web page as a guestbook entry form.
<!-- ************************ BEGIN GUESTBOOK ********************* -->

The red text is uniquely generated for each request. You'll have to edit this sample and provide the information about your specific guestbook.
You must know your guestbook ID in order to use the RootsWeb Guestbook. The guestbook ID is the number following gb= in the action parameter above. This sample used a guestbook ID of 000 ; you will substitute your designated guestbook ID. Notice that there are two places in this HTML code where the guestbook ID is coded.
If you don't have the guestbook ID assigned to you at the time you created your guestbook, you'll have to start over at the guestbook creation form: http://resources.rootsweb.com/~guestbook/FreeGuestbook.html
You also need to put in the text of your optional questions in place of Optional question 1: and the other two like it.
The supplied HTML for including a guestbook form on your web page contains three simple graphic images. Download these images to your own computer, then upload into your web server in the same directory with the page where you've put the guestbook form.
If you're comfortable writing HTML, you can edit this form to be more to your liking. The important thing is to preserve all of the form variables and to provide the correct URL in the action parameter.
