Websites

How do i put on box on my website for readers to comment?

I am not looking for a box that puts the comments directly on my website…i am looking for a box that when they submit a comment the comment goes directly to my email inbox…is there a website where i can just upload a code or something? i dont think i would really know how to make one lol

Comment boxes are designed to add directly to the web page where they are installed. You want comments emailed to you, then you just want a standard email form. Best is server-side if your host allows PHP and SMTP. If not, you will have to use a client-side form.

Basic Client-Side Mailto: Form:

<form method="post" action="mailto:someone@$nailmail.com" enctype="text/plain">
<input type="text" name="username"> : name <br>
<input type="text" name="email"> : email <br>
comments <br>
<textarea name="comments" rows="10" wrap="hard">
</textarea>
<input name="redirect" type="hidden" value="index.html">
<input name="NEXT_URL" type="hidden" value="index.html"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
<input type="reset" value="Clear">
</form>

Use a server-side script language if your web site allows it. Otherwise, you will have to use a client-side dependent "mailto:" action to get the form info sent to you.

Your current hosting package MUST allow SMTP ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Mail_Transfer_Protocol ) to work. Otherwise, no email can be sent.

Use any of the below sites to make the workable form you need:
