Step 5: Adding Your New Shout Box to Your Web Site

For this last step, log into Sitellite again as an administrator and in the Web View, click the "Add New Sidebar" icon in one of your sidebar areas.

In the sidebar form, give it the ID "shoutbox" and the title "Shout Box", then instead of adding content to the WYSIWYG editor, click on the Properties tab and enter the following into the Alias field:

shoutbox/display

Before saving the sidebar, click on the State tab and make sure the Status is set to Approved, so that visitors can actually see the Shout Box, then click the Save button at the bottom of the form.

You should now be looking at your web site with its new Shout Box sidebar installed and running. Now all you need to do is tell your friends and visitors to post messages for you on your new Shout Box.
