I am creating a website using front page and I'm new at this and I really
really want a comment page i want people to be able to send comments to me
and only me is this possible or will i need to create it myself
 
Simplest way is to create an email link. Copy the following into the code
view of your page.

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Website Feedback>Email Feedback
Here</a>


Otherwise, just create a form with a "textbox" form field.

Insert > Form and then choose the form field type you want (the textbox
type).
Add a submit button.
Then right click inside the form, and go to form properties, and insert your
email address and/or a file name for the text file; this will then send the
comments to your email and to the text file (if you wish to keep all the
comments).

Depending on what your site supports, you need to then click the option e.g.
Using the FP server extensions, or third party script.

If you use the FPSE then you publish the page with FTP.

If you need to use a third party script, check with your host on what they
support e.g. PHP, ASP etc.

This may give you some alternatives to the Server Extensions to send the
email.

http://www.andrews-homepage.net/kb/?View=entry&EntryID=9 has an outline of
some sites that provide the script to send the email and the basic layout of
form you may require.

Note,some of the links are specific to *Expression Web Designer*.

For others, do a Google search on "Email Form scripts".
