Adding and Deactivating a Guestbook in Website Builder
You can add a guestbook in Website Builder that lets visitors leave comments on your website. You can set guestbook entries to require approval or display immediately, and modify your guestbook colors to compliment the look and feel of your website.
You can also deactivate your guestbook, and replace it anytime.
NOTE: When you add a guestbook to your website, it counts against the number of pages your Website Builder plan allows. For example, if your Website Builder plan includes 10 pages, when you add a guestbook to your Website, you have 9 remaining pages to use when building your website.
