DevShed has a new article posted today that will help you develop a "chatterblock" for your website. Not sure what that is? Well, a chatterblock is small windows where users can type in messages. They're also called Shout Boxes or TagBoards and are kind of like miniature chat rooms.

In this new article they show you simply how to set up a block inside an iframe that will allow your users to leave quick and easy feedback. They show you the structure and the database information for the setup, as well as the simple script that does the work. They even have some nice features built in such as blank entry prevention and banned IPs for those troublemakers that eventually will show.

They finish up with a management utility for the block, making it easy to ban/unban IPs, users, etc (rather than having to edit the database yourself). And, last but not least, they help you to secure it, adding a password to the chatterblock's admin area...
