The idea is to make your pages WORK for you, right?
How do you do it (without putting too much work into building)?
Use the "building block" -- open with the right mouse "View Soruce" -- do you see the inserts?
"WebWisdom" at the top, for example. this is a rotating texts, which come from HTMLgear. It inserts very much like any of your files, but I do not have to update the HTML of the page (only the content of the WebWisdom @ HTMLgear.com). I have the dymanic content.
DIARY of a WEBMAN
Yes, my friend, the page like people can be smart or damn.
You have to teach them how to be smart!
You see, both Links Lists are inserted! but of course, if the server is down, it does not function. Servers is another matter all together, my friends.

Step 2: Solutions
Write it down:
* how do you gather feedback? (email links, web forms -- the best)
* how do you want to respond to visitor feedback - by eMail, on a Website, or by other methods?
* how quickly do you want to answer questions? (in keeping with the needs of your Website's audience, achievable consistently without too much effort on your part)
* how much time and effort can you afford to put into this process, or how many people can you hire to do it for you?
DO IT!
* configure your eMail client to filter feedback
All recommendations are for "one (wo)man show" only!
