    I have noticed on a lot of sites like this one: http://yesterdayishere.com/wordpress/arhiva/2005/07/04/how-to-feel-good-about-your-design/#more-65

    that there is a way for readers of articles to leave a message under the blog. How is this done? does it require a database and php? I'm just curious because I see it all the time. How do people know how to do stuff like this? I get no results on google when I search for tutorials

    Any guru here care to guide me through the prosess?

    Thank you.

    If you talking about comments that people can leave on a blog and they can be seeing by public.
    Yes it's part of the Blog backend which is most likely php /MySQL.
    If you not a programmer I would not recommend even looking for any tutorials it might be little bit over you head.

    Best, DS

    Yes it would be difficult to dive straight into. Plus from the looks of that URL, the person is using a URL Re-Writing module (most likely in apache) which means you will also have to know how to configure your server, as well as how to form regular expressions.

    I dove into it a few years back, and I'm glad I did. Just go for it and see if you're interested.

    You'll need to grasp all three technologies to understand how it works - Apache, MySQL, and PHP. Basically, you'll have to do a lot of reading.
