Erm, excuse me, but did *this* really refer to the question? I
personally understood the question like this:
|| How do I add the possibility to post a comment to my site?
*This* would be much more tricky then setting an encoding...
First you need SQL or any other database to store the comments. The
second step is to write a ServerSide Script which inserts the data.
Third you have to write a HTML form to post the data (with the right
encoding of course, see Mike's post). And last you of course have to
write a page which displays all the data from your database.
You see, not quite easy... you need much experience to write something
like this on your own... An easier alternative would be to use
web-services which can be embedded into your site. Google for it to find
some...
HTH more...
