  Why not have a wordpress.com guestbook feature? Is a feature very similar to the feedback form. It was possible to make the contact form and comments safe, they can also make a secure guestbook.The guestbook outsourced spoils the look of the blog. I do not want to create a page called Guestbook with the possibility of feedback. I do not want to be able to comment on the comments.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If you use the third party guest book on a page you can disable comments on that page. We can over-ride the default set here > Settings > Discussion on any single post or page. Below the editor box you will finda Discussion modeule:
  __Allow comments.
  __Allow trackbacks and pingbacks on this page
  Remove the checkmarks to disable comments and pingbacks (click Save, Publish or Update)

  You are not limited to using the slideshare interactive guestbook. You can use a hosted guestbook like this free one and simply link to it from your blog. http://www.ultraguest.com/

  I know I can disable the comments on one page. I was told that I have two options: either I create an empty page allowing comments, that is, pretending that it is a guestbook, or disable the comments and I use an external guestbook. I do not want any of these options.

  As you are aware that there are only two option and neither one suits you all I can say is I’m sorry that we cannot help you.

  Sorry if I did not express myself properly to you. First I contacted the support from wordpress.com to see if there was the feature guest book. They told me they had not and suggested I open a discussion forum community. The fact that there is an appeal does not mean it will never exist. That is what I discuss here. No one else cares that wordpress.com develop the resource guestbook? He is much like the comments feature. Just a minor adjustment. Do not misunderstand me. I do not want the two options that exist today (book or comments from third parties). I want the worpress.com provide this feature in your environment. You do not agree this is a basic thing?

  It’s not a basic thing anymore. It hasn’t been for about four years; it’s considered antiquated now. For a large number of both technical and community-building reasons, it’s considered more desireable to encourage people to leave comments on the blog.

  I’ve been here five years and I really don’t think I’ve seen a request for a guestbook in the last three.
