My GeoCities Guestbook
The original guestbook leave-a-comment page
The following is approximately how the original guestbook leave-a-comment page would have looked, but it was evidently unavailable for much of the time I was there, because it was replaced by another guestbook system. I didn't realize this until near the end, because I seldom tried to access that page. I have this information about the page only because I had the code for the page, and indeed the page itself, though when I tried to go to it through the link I got an error, because it tried to access other things that were no longer used by Yahoo. I do think I remember trying to access it a few times several years ago and got an error then, too, but attributed it to a problem on Yahoo's part. I don't remember if I ever noticed anything about the guestbook system being changed.
Active links have been changed from the originals to point to addresses on this blog. Any links that are part of the comments and appear in plain text form are just dummy test data and are not valid links, or at least were not intended to be.

The original guestbook
The following is the guestbook as it appeared for almost all the time it was there. The first comment is a test comment by me, but the second one was real. I have blocked part of the email name, but it was complete originally.

The new guestbook
The following is the new guestbook with my comment as it appeared, with the end cut off. Unlike the prior guestbook, the new one used a common storage area at Yahoo for the guestbook leave-a-comment and view-comments pages and for the data, so nothing for it appeared at my site. The only access was through links, which i didn't install on my web page, as there were only hours left before GeoCities shut down. I accessed the guestbook myself by pasting the links directly into the browser address bar.

It already has such links, but the Sign option no longer works, evidently because of a change in how it's done.
