Guestbooks Advice

I am sure this has been brought up a number of times but as a relative newbie who is making good use of the DotNetNuke framework, can anybody point me at a robust and seamless integration for a Guestbook to integrate with my DotNetNuke website (see below). I have done a search and there appears to be a handful out there, some free and some at a small cost. Given that cost is not really an issue, which one is the best and most reliable.

Thanks in advance

Mark.

Re: Guestbooks Advice

Thanks Mitchel, I spotted your Guestbook when searching on Google. As you have been kind enough to reply, I will give it a go. I like what I'm reading so will have a go at deploying in the next 48 hours or so. Thanks for the moment.

Cheers Mark.

Re: Guestbooks Advice

Hi Mitchel,

Downloaded it. Install it. All OK. Set it up no problems. Configured it as a public but moderated Guestbook. Posted a test entry and was told it was successful but it would need authorizing... so far so good. Went to my email to see this message...(see below). Notice the GuestBookUrl has not been fleshed out (not a major problem... might be a friendly URL issue). The main problem is that when I logon as the HOST Super Duper user, and goto the moderation queue OR the edit entries pages, there is nothing in the queue...any ideas...???
