Without specifically impugning Matt's scripts (although there are many
that do), I would suggest that running a freebie, DIY script on your
server is worth every penny you pay for it. Many of these free scripts
are notoroiously buggy and insecure. If you're not a programmer yourself,
it behooves you to get one you trust to take a look at what you're putting
out there.

Just for grins, visit Perl demigod's page at
http://w3.stonehenge.com/merlyn/ and read his comment about putting raw
HTML in guestbooks.
