There are some settings in Phoca Guestbook you can change. You can find them here:
Components » Phoca Guestbook » Items » [Parameters] button. But if you have created 'Menu link' for Phoca Guestbook, you must change the parameters in:
Menu » Main Menu (e.g.) » Phoca Guestbook » Parameters - Component. Parameters component settings override the default component settings, so you must make changes here, if you want these changes to be displayed.
