A shoutbox, saybox, tagboard, or chatterbox is a chat-like feature of some websites that allows people to quickly leave messages on the website, generally without any form of user registration.
A shoutbox is of immense use if you want to interact with your readers quickly…
Let’s learn how to do it in case of Wordpress blogs….
- Download the Shoutbox plugin from http://pierre.sudarovich.free.fr/upload/File/wordspew-intl.zip
- Upload it to your wordpress plugins directory i.e,wp-content/plugins/ directory
- Activate the plugin
- Add the widget “Shoutbox” in the Sidebar
- Save the changes..That’s all..
You can now try it….
Now in order to manage your shouts …Go to Manage>> Live Shoutbox
You can clear all the shouts,delete the particular shout,change the color,change or add banned words list and IP addresses and many more things from there…
Their is also an option called “Use sound alert”.This will create a popup sound every time the user shouts…You can also change the sound…All you have to do is replace the msg.wav file in the shoutbox plugin directory with your choice …. 
I hope you liked this small tut…
Waiting for your Comments and Feedback….and not to mention your SHOUTS
