I would like to make it where people can post comments to my work like on Epilogue and other art sites. Without linking to 3rd party sites.
Something like a prefab java scrip that i could just paste into the html.

Any ideas?

I'm not sure java script could do that (I havn't done much with it) but PHP could easily. If you're hosted on an apache server you've probably got PHP and its a simple matter of getting the pre-fab script from php.net

CGI could also do it, but I've always shunned CGI... CGI and ASP... well, CGI isn't that bad but you know... kinda slow sometimes

and yah, you could do it with asp as well, but imoho, asp is a little biatch to code in. Php on the other hand is wunderrfull!

I can offer you little advice about actually finding or creating a script, but using a weblog is my only suggestion. I'm not talking about Blogger, but either Greymatter or Moveable Type. You install them on your own server so you don't have to rely on any third parties. The directions are pretty easy and you don't need to code anything (aside from your HTML templates of course). But you do have to have CGI and permissions capabilities on your server. And both have commenting and archiving systems (so maintaining your portfolio might be easier).

I have tested all three of the aformentioned web authoring systems, in my opinion, Moveable Type is the best... or at least worked best for my needs.
