Guestbook
One of the things we've enjoyed about sharing our adventures online, is meeting new people. We'd love to hear from you, so don't be shy ... just use the comment box below and tell us what you think ... say "hi" ... or just whatever is on your mind. We accept links and images! (We don't cotton much to SPAM, so we don't allow any of that stuff, so don't even try!)
Hope to hear from you soon!
- Scott & Rachel
Guest Book History
A Checkered Past
We've relied on various free, online guest-book services, since 1999 - mostly with ill-fated luck (e.g., we lost all entries made during our 5-month, Pacific Crest Trail adventure, because the service experienced a server failure in 2002).
We were very sad.
After the PCT debacle, we waited a couple of months, hoping that the old guest book would magically reappear. It never did.
Afterwards, we went with a larger provider - bravenet.com - and their free service for 5 years. We didn't like all the adverts, so we eventually moved it here.
Instructions
The Art of the Entry
There are some nifty features that puts this guest book light-years ahead of our very first guest book (in addition to the fact that our entries are now backed up, along with the rest of our site, on a regular basis - no more lost entries!):
- You can use 'smileys'! Which is fun. (Type in the smiley face and it will be converted after you hit "send")
- You can use XHTML code: <strong>; <em>; and even <a class="whereever.com" title=" your title ">links</a>.
- Your email address doesn't show. (You must enter one, but if you're ultra paranoid, you can use a fake one ... provided it looks like a real one).
- You can also "subscribe" to comments. (Anytime a new comment is added to the article to which you've subscribed, you'll receive an email notification about the new comment.)
