Hello,

I'd like to add a comments section to a webpage. The sort of thing I'd like can be seen at the bottom of this page.

Is there anything in Dreamweaver that can do this or do I need something else?

Thanks

Mark

No, nothing in DW can do that. You need server-scripting and a database for that.

Use WordPress. Commenting can be enabled in blogs if desired.

Be careful what you wish for though. Spambots and trolls will be all over it in no time.

Unless comments are vetted before they are published its probably not a great idea to have a comments section on a small website. Most of these big web forums have some kind of moderator team who should be able to take down comments quickly if they are not suitable. On a small website you could have a war of words going on why you are sunning yourself in the Carribean.

WordPress' commenting has options to decline/approve comments before they are posted publicly.

Pending: comments submitted by your visitors, but won’t be visible on your blog posts unless you approve them.
Approved: comments published and are publicly visible on your blog posts by all your website visitors.
Spam: comments flagged as possibly unwanted or irrelevant, and aren’t visible to your site visitors.
Trash: comments marked as unwanted and will be automatically deleted for good after 30 days.

This looks like a site that was produced using WordPress, in which case you can only use Wordpress to modify the contents.
