Thanks Janet - we tried that but it just takes us to the website page of the provider which appears to be under reconstruction. The Bandon website manager is attempting to contact them, so far without success. So we may have to add a guest book page using a different service - all far too complex for me but understood by the other half of the team! Thanks for your interest - in the future this suggestion may work once the site is 'reconstructed'.

Never tried it, but, what the hey? Steve in Montana
