Putting a message board in WP is kinda hard if you don’t know how to do the web hosting. But if you do and don’t have the money, it’s also hard for a message board to appear on your site.

Me, I tried to do the web hosting, but I can only host one account with my fatcow.com. Worst is, I really don’t know what I was doing.

Until, I tried to change my message board on my other blogs. I am using shoutmix right now. And customize it the way I want to . As if I know . Anyway, I figured out that I can put my link here in WP as my message board.

Wanna know? First, you have to sign up at shoutmix. Customize your shoutbox. Opsss, don’t forget to set the time and set the other neccessary buttons that you need. Click get the code and choose “USE SHOUTBOX DIRECTLY”. And your link will appear. Copy and use it as one of your link in your blogroll. And that’s it, you have your message board now .

Very easy and simple . Thanks to shoutmix for the great free service.

Now, this is my simple illustration:

1. Go to Blogroll

2. Click add links

3. Add another category. Be it tag board, Chat board, Message board or whatever . And if you want to have your shoutbox to be the first on the line of your links, put some ascii codes and it will be the first on your link list.

4. On the left side, put your link there and name it. And don’t forget to check the category that you just added. And that’s it.

5. This is the result of my SHOUTBOX. You can see it on the right side .

This is just my simple suggestion.
