Sign My Guestbook

counters and guestbook 1996 still works

The sign and view guestbook block that closed out every personal home page.

In 2026: The markup works. The free CGI guestbooks it pointed at are all gone, so the form has to post somewhere you control.

Where it came from: Matt's Script Archive guestbook.pl, 1995, and the free host guestbooks that copied it. Wikipedia ↗
