Default Wordpress-like comments on standard HTML site

Hello guys,

I am looking to place a comments/feedback/customer support comments box on a standard HTML site aka wordpress style. These comments should have two characteristics:

1) It allows me (the admin) to approve comments before publishing them
2) It should email back the comment poster when I (the admin) replies with my customer support comment.

Is there any way to do that?

Thanks!

A quick scout around came up with these results for you:

Add Comments to Website

The Easy PHP Guestbook - A free html guestbook comments php script - PHP Comments System

If you type in html guestbook into google, that should help find something too

If you read through the Codex; (over at WordPress.org); you will find that WP has what they call "the loop" built-in where as you can apply it to static/dynamic pages.

Not sure of your technical level, but the functionality that you want is built into WP already.

Hope this helps

I am afraid my technical level is very limited. I'd have a hell of a time looking into any type of code

Can't get much better or easier than this. It's an app called Echo from JsKit. Here's an example, click the little icon on the bottom right to get to their page.

Best of all?

FREE!

Stem Cell Therapy: The Forbidden Therapy That Actually Works

A little different look, but very easy to implement. Just drop a small piece of code on the page - voila!

Just another new article directory.

The problem with JS-Kit is that it doesnt email the poster when I reply the comment, thus it doesnt work for customer support.

Be careful with a comments box unless you love porn spam.

The reason I use Wordpress is because there is lots of anti-spam protection available in the form of plugins, especially Akismet for manual spam and WP-Spam-Free from robot spam, as well as moderation queues. I would say 99% of the comments I receive are spam, so you need a way to monitor and protect your site.

sounds like you want the features of a forum

if your site has cpanel there are a few available - you could have a php person customise it to fit the site
here is an example
My Local SignMaker • Index page
this one is called forum but could easily be called support page etc
cheers

It's free - go here...

JS-Kit Community Wiki / QuickStart

The pricing page is for upgrades to the free script.

Also, it does email me whenever a comment is made and it gives the commenter the option to subscribe to the comment thread via email or RSS.

Nice one - I would never have found the link otherwise - all the get started links on the site lead to a paypal page......
I suspect this script has some useful viral features - intergrating with twitter etc
worth bookmarking
I presume the ratings "Rate this article:"
is part of this script - cool feature
is it available in the free version?
be useful for review sites methinks
