A very simple guestbook. Just unpack everything to your webserver and browse to it. It will come up with a install script to help you. All the messages are stored in one file so you don't need sql. The KISGB was my first try with php and the author helped me by email to get my php environment working so there's a lot of support for it too. A very excellent guestbook with a lot of support.

Yes, KISGB is really easy to use. Keep It Simple, it is guestbook what a guestbook has to be. You can use it also as a kind of discussion forum. The administration function is also very easy to use. The user interface is very customable : themes, require fields, supressing fields, languages. What I like too that are the country flags. A nice option when you have International people signing the guestbook. The guestbook is developed with the hackers in mind, which are trying to corrupt it. So you can set the numer of carriage return allowed, maximum number of characters allowed etc. The developer is very sensitive for user requests, to make it even more perfect. What is missed, is that there is no registration option. So it is not suitable to use it as a private guestbook for e.g. you relatives. But I think when the developer reads this review he is building that in for the next release.

If you are looking for a guest book stop here! KISGB has everything you need. The book can be changed in almost any way you can imagine and is easy to install. All the features of a professional guest book, great support and no need for php skills or sql!

I am extremely pleased with this program. It is very friendly to the front end user, offering the visitor a chance to be an indivual and express their feelings. The animated happy faces bring many favorable comments. The ability to change the themes is very well recieved. Automatic E-mail notification tells me what I want to know when a new guest signs in, and sends a nice thank you for stopping in to visit my guestbook. The admin section is an easy to use, but provides all the control that is needed to maintain the guest book. As if the KISGB needed more, all data is stored in a flat file - no database required!! In closing I would like to say that KISGB is simply the best free program that I have used.

After spending hours searching for a guest book I came across KISGB. I am very new to web page design and don't know a lot about it. I researched KISGB by reading the reviews and also looking at their website. After reading all the information I decided to attemtp to install KISGB on my website. Excellent choice I must say as I am glad I did. Not knowing much about computers or website building I had a few problems that Gaylen was extremely helpful in and within a few moments it was up and running. Gaylen went above and beyond the call of duty in helping me! Use this program!
