Designed to replicate the appearance and behavior of Viper Guestbook. == Description == WP-ViperGB is a Wordpress plugin designed to replicate the appearance and behavior of the discontinued [Viper Guestbook](http://www.vipergb.de.vu/) project. It makes it easy to add a stylish and user-friendly guestbook to your blog. Features: * Create user-friendly guestbooks without writing a single line of code. * Lives in a standard Wordpress page and uses comments for entries, so moderation and antispam functionality works as normal. * Two-View layout provides one view for submitting entries and another for reading them. * Automatic paging of entries to customizable length. * Show icons for country, browser, and OS in visitor signatures. * Admin-panel stylesheet selector allows easy skinning to suit your theme. * No bloat: Uses existing Wordpress faculties so no custom database tables are required. * Simple PHP template function allows programmers to manually embed standalone guestbooks in any template they wish. For a Demo, see the [plugin's homepage](http://www.justin-klein.com/projects/wp-vipergb#demo). == Installation == 1. Download the most recent version of the plugin from [here](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-vipergb/), unzip it, and upload the extracted files to your `/wp-content/plugins` directory. 2. Login to your Wordpress admin panel and activate the plugin. 3. Create a new Page (i.e. "Guestbook"). 4. Navigate to Settings -> WP-ViperGB. 5.
