5 stars are not enough!

I’ve been using the guestbook for so long now… and I haven’t actually left a review yet?
Shame on me!
The guestbook is simply fantastic! The add-on is great too.
I highly recommend both!
Меня пока всё устраивает.

Узнал о наличии в нём массы спама только через два года, устал удалять, но, кое что оставил. Забавный этот плагин, мне нравится. Простой в использовании.

I used this plugin to create a guestbook on a few different pages of mine.
For family and for business purposes.
Only thing I’m missing would be PICTURES! Can it be made possible to add pictures to an entry?
Terrific solution for memorial guestbooks
by ingenuity·1 year ago
The Gwolle Guestbook worked exactly as needed when I built a memorial website for a famed photographer, John Dominis. About five years later, I used it again on a site about using Yoga to prepare for end of life. I then saw that the guest entries can easily be formatted with links and images. On a couple of occasions, I needed help and found that the support for the plugin is excellent. I have not found anything like this plugin and I highly recommend it.
