Add a Free Wordpress Chat Box to Your Blog in 60 Seconds!

Here’s the easiest way to add a free chat box to your Wordpress blog. If we’re fast, we can do it in 60 seconds or less! We’ll use Chatroll live forums, so you don’t even need to install any plugins. The clock is ticking, so let’s go!

1. Create a live forum to use for your Wordpress chat box. Go to Chatroll and click the button to create a forum. Choose a name that fits with your blog, as this name will appear in the chatbox title. Write an attractive and detailed description so that people can easily find your forum.
   
2. Copy the embed code from your forum’s home page. In your newly created live forums’s home page (for example, http://chatroll.com/technology/the-chatroll-blog) copy the embed code from the text box labeled ‘embed’, located under the chat window as shown below:
   
3. Paste the embed code into the Wordpress HTML Editor. In Wordpress, open the post where you want the chatbox to appear. You MUST switch to the HTML editor! The Wordpress Visual Editor will break the pasted code!
   
4. Reload your blog to see the embedded chatbox. You should now see a fully functional chat box in your Wordpress blog.

You’re done! Here’s what your chat box should look like:

Congratulations, you’ve just chat-enabled your Wordpress blog! If you have any problems along the way, just head over to the Chatroll Support forum and ask for help.

You’ve now covered the basics, but you’ll want to tweak your embedded chat box to maximize its success. Chatroll lets you customize the position, size, and color of the chat box to fit in perfectly with your site and make the most of reader participation.
