As you see below, when you type in my guestbook, it comes with a different font
than the default one.
look below:

How to do this one on your site:
Click Customize my site.
You will be seeing a yellow strip popping out.
Click Custom Css.
Copy this code on the first line:


table, td {
background: transparent;
border: 0px;
line-height: 14px;font-family:TYPE THE FONT TYPE HERE!important;font-weight:bold!important; }
input, textarea, font, p, table, td, div, strong, u, i {font-size:TYPE THE FONT SIZE HEREpx!important;font-family:TYPE THE FONT YOU WANT TO APPEAR AFTER TYPING!important;font-weight:normal!important; letter-spacing: 0px; font-color: #TYPE THE COLORCODING HERE.;}

background-attachment: fixed;

See this text in the code:

And then. highlight them and edit it with your own..

There are many questions frequently on dealing with guestbooks whether be it on images that distort pages, unwanted posts and other replies that users do not want to be in their guestbook. Here are some of the options presented on dealing with those issues:

Now, for the codes and other instructions on the options you can apply on your guestbook:

• deleting a specific comment
• click "View all XXX comments" at the bottom of the guestbook.
• or go to http://username.multiply.com/guestbook
• select the comment you want to remove and click delete on the upper right of the post

• telling your contacts on your guestbook preference (telling them not to put or limit the sizes of images)
• simply put a note on the guestbook title or somewhere seen easily on your page
• write about your preference on a blog
  
• you can also send a PM on a contact that puts an image on your guestbook and ask her what to do

• Through CSS
  
• Go to your Home page. (http://username.multiply.com)
  Then click "Customize My Site" (found on the upper right part)
  Then on the "drop-down" menu that appears at the Top, select "Custom CSS"
• Add the codes:

• to overflow options (having a scrollbar on the guestbook)
  
• #home_guestbook {
  height: 500px;
  overflow:auto;
  width: 200px;
  }
•  "overflow-x" is for the width only
    "overflow-y" is for the height only
    "overflow" if both

• having a maximum image dimension (automatically resizes 'large' images to your preferred size)
  
• #home_guestbook .replybody img {
  max-height:100px;
  max-width:100px;
  }

• disabling images on your guestbook (totally on all images)
  
• #home_guestbook .replybody img {
  display: none;
  }

• hiding your guestbook
  
• Go to your Homepage
  
• Click "Customize My Site"
• Select "Hide" on you Guestbook Box

• You can also restrict the Guestbook Access to limit who can view and make posts in your guestbook
• Go to your Homepage
• Click "Customize My Site"
• Select "Edit" on your Guestbook
• Choose who can access:
• Everyone
• Network
• Contacts

Put a scrollbar on HOMEPAGE BOXES:

div#mainbox_ (NUMBER depends on the positioning of boxes in the Home Page)

div#mainbox_ (NUMBER depends on the Position of boxes in the Home Page)
number 1 for the first box
number 2 for the second box
etc. etc..

as for an example, the site of babatom, the music box is placed 4th on the HOMEPAGE..
1 - Welcome Box
2 - Photos Box
3 - Videos Box
4 - Music Box

so the code is:

div#mainbox_4 .itembox {
overflow-y: auto;
height:200px;
}

For the Guestbook, there's another Option:

#home_guestbook .replybox {
overflow:auto;
}

Put Scroll on the TAG LIST:

div#mainbox_1 div.relatedlinks {
width:780px;
height: 600px;
overflow-x:auto;
width: 780px;
overflow-y: auto;
}

• Groups normally don't have a Guestbook, but you can display one if you change the Page Layout to Linear instead of Box View for the Home Page.

• If you try to add HTML code in a comment at someone else's Guestbook that isn't your contact, the HTML will be removed. Of course, the same happens in your Guestbook for people that aren't in your contact list.

• Large pictures may make the column where the Guestbook is in your main page too wide. Either remove the entry or ask the poster to remove the code. Also, you can add this code to your Custom CSS to display a scrollbar when it happens:

          #home_guestbook .replybox { overflow:auto; }

          or, if you don't want it to display any image at all:

          #home_guestbook .replybody img { display: none; }

• How to remove/delete messages from your Guestbook:

            At your main page, you won't see the links to delete comments or edit your own replies in your Guestbook. To do this, you have to go to the Guestbook page. You can get there using one of these ways:
            - at your main page, click on the link below your Guestbook "View All NNN Comments"
            - use this link: http://Your_Username.multiply.com/guestbook (replace Your User_Name with your actual Multiply username)

• Also, you can edit the number of comments displayed at your main page and the access (privacy) level if you click on Customize My Site and then on the Edit link on the Guestbook box.

    If you cannot find the delete link for the offending graphic, you can try this: use the delete link from another comment and try to modify it to delete what you want, like this: get the delete link from the previous or next entry (right-click on the link and use 'Copy Link Location' on Firefox or the analogous command in your browser), copy it to your browser's location bar (the one where you type the http://...) and modify it to reflect the entry you want to delete.

For instance, the delete link to my 250th entry in my guestbook is something like this:
javascript:confirmLink("Are you sure you want to delete this reply?", "/item/delete-reply/lfom:guestbook:1+250?xurl=http%3A%2F%2Flfom.multiply.com%2F&usertoken=manylettershere")

So, if I want to delete the next entry, I simply copy it to the my browser's location bar, replace 250 with 251 like this:
javascript:confirmLink("Are you sure you want to delete this reply?", "/item/delete-reply/lfom:guestbook:1+251?xurl=http%3A%2F%2Flfom.multiply.com%2F&usertoken=manylettershere")

and press the ENTER (or RETURN) key. A confirmation dialog should appear, then click on OK.
