  I need a chat for my blog. i would prefer one that can enter in a post and chat there (enter like a poll for example). where can i find something like that?

  meebo goes only in sidebars and i cannot even make it work (i don’t get most messages)

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You do not have a chatbox problem. Allow me to point out that on any blogging forum one is expected to search before posting. You did not do that. Please do that next time.

  Allow me to point out that you should read better what one writes. I don’t want a sidebar chat. I want a page/post one. Meebo doesn’t word with page and it doesn’t work in general for me. I want other recommendations. Other chats that i can use with wordpress.com and i can put them in a page.

  thank you

  All widgets here can only be used in sidebars. If the meebo widget does not work for your then carefully follow the instructions I posted the link to above. If it still does not work then contact Staff. Here’s the link http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/ Type “meebo” into the searchbox. After you use the searchbox at the bottom of the page there will be a section that says “Have you found the answer to your question?” You can choose either “Yes I found the answer to my question.” or “No I didn’t find the answer to my question and I would like to contact support for help.” The no option will reveal the contact form.

  let’s try once more… i DO NOT want a widget. I DO NOT want meebo. I WANT the names of chats that can be placed in wordpress.com in a post in a page. if you spend some time and visit my blog you will see i have already found one on my own (not much help in here) but many members find it inconvenient as it is java

  Widgets can only be placed in sidebars. There is no workaround. If this is a deal breaker for you then hire a web host and set up a free software install from WordPress.ORG.

  you just quoted me in a sentence that says nowhere the word widget and now you again suggest solutions about widgets…. what can i answer to that. can you or can you not see my chat in a page as i like it? can you suggest to the people that use your service other names of chats like that or you have no knowledge on what works with wordpress.com?

  @weallspeakenglish
  Sadly you do not seem to be understanding the fact that on WordPress.COM free hosted blogs the only choices for chat available are the ones I provided above. They are sidebar widgets and there are no post on a page or into a post chat options here. Is that clear now?

  I have provided the correct information. If you wish to file a support ticket with Staff and wait in their queue for them to tell you the same thing aI already did then I have provided the instructions for how to do that. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/problem-with-chat?replies=11#post-656704

  Also note this important section in the support documentation re: embeds > code > http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  There have been a couple of in-page solutions that work on WordPress.com including two that timethief mention in her post http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/03/07/4-chatboxes-for-wordpress-com-blogs/ The first is the Google Talk badge and the second is Talkinator. Check them out.
