How to build a Forum?
I have created a site using Cutesite Builder but there is no way I can find how to add a page where people can leave their comments (via me first of all I guess) like a Forum. Any help how to do so would be appreciated. Can anyone give me code or advice where to get it?
Thanks, Tez

You just need to tweak the existing code, perhaps add a little javascript snippet.

Go to www.phpbb.com and download the phpBB forum software. Unzip the downloaded file, and upload the contents to your Web server. Then pull up the installer page in your Web browser, and follow the install instructions. In very short time, you'll have a forum on your site.
Another option is to use SMF. Search for Simple Machines on Google, and you should find it.
If you don't really want a forum, but just want something to let people leave you comments, then all you really need is a guestbook or contact form. At a really basic level, you can just create a mailto link, so people can send you email. For something like a guestbook script, try www.hotscripts.com .
