Thanks for your reply. Yes,
http://fetishfiends.com/test.shtml is the test page. Sorry, I had left the page up without the call to code, as I had been trying it out in various ways, ie directly putting in the html and code, and trying the insert button. I have now got it with the call to code.
From your e mail, I see that I had misnamed the script. I saved it as script.cgi, I have now renamed it to readblog.cgi, so
http://fetishfiends.com/cgi/readblog.cgi now shows the blog.
My test page is still blank.
