Hey guys,

I'm writing this because I'm curious if anyone knows how to incorporate a script to allow users to anonymously post stories/reviews to have on a wall... similar to FML? Trying to create a site and I'm new to coding so I don't know how to go about doing this.

It would be something along the lines of an entry box

Name: Saul T. Nuts

(Text box)
So have the text here.

[Submit Button]

These submitted stories will then be put on a wall with an incorporated liking/disliking system (which I will be customizing). If anyone knows how to answer this personally or can direct me to somewhere with relevant information it would be greatly, greatly appreciated!!

The only other ways I can describe this would be an online journal or the coding for a forum without sign in information and their posting redirected to a home page... not sure where to go from here and since there are so many advocates here for learning coding languages is there anyone that can give me a hint here!? ;P

I'm pretty limited in backend development, but I think I understand what you're wanting to do.

You probably want something like this

HTML5:

<form action="homepage.html" method="POST">
<fieldset>
<legend>Your story.</legend>
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="name">
<label for="text" id="story">Write your story.</label>
<textarea name="text" id="" cols="30" rows="10"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Post Your Story">
</fieldset>
</form>

And then you'll need some backend JSON / AJAX or PHP to post the text to the page (or in this case the post will be posted to the homepage). It's a little compilated to get into here, but post over on stackoverflow and they can explain it better than I can.

Here's a jsfiddle for the HTML code: http://jsfiddle.net/xV7b4/

You're likely to get better answers on a coding forum.

Yeah I didn't really think of it at the time, and I just found out about blackhatworld so I will probably go there from now on
