Shrug iWeb and .Mac are probably your best bet...:confused:

A recent update to iWeb allows people to leave comments on blog entries - you could use that feature, right??? By the way, I think you need .Mac for the comment function to work.

If you already have iWeb, .Mac is less than 100 bucks and it gives you a domain (kind of...) for a year.

You are right.

phpBB or Vanilla (http://getvanilla.com/).

[elisha cuthbert]

hmm, well at the moment i cant really get the .mac, im a bit short of cash, and what is this phpBB??

[AmbitiousLemon]

...and what is this phpBB??

phpBB is the devil.




If Vanilla (http://getvanilla.com/) does do it for you look at punBB (http://www.punbb.org/). But my recommendation would be Vanilla.
