When I got tired of having to manage my NIN news website (circa June 1999) by myself, I grabbed the Guestbook script from here, tweaked it a little bit, and it became a very rudimentary CMS for a volunteer staff of about a dozen contributors. Eventually I moved to a more robust Perl-based tool (News Publisher by Grant Williams), a version of which continues to power that same site today.

But I always think of https://www.theninhotline.com/news/ as a hacked guestbook script.

It's somewhat interesting to me that, according to Wikipedia, the word "blog" as an abbreviation of weblog came into use the month before I started that site.
