If you are interesting in adding high level of interactivity
to your Blogger Blog, you may consider embedding one of the free chat widgets
to your web pages. That will give your visitors an opportunity to discuss in
real time the blog content, share ideas, and provide instant comments.
While there are multiple services offering their products to
the blog publishers, we will review just few selected.
- Chatroll (http://chatroll.com/)
Chatroll allows adding
chat room to your blogger blog with great ease, in matter of minutes. First, go
to Chatroll, enter your community’s name in the “Name Your Live Community…” box
and click “Create”. Choose a name that fits your blog, and this name will serve
as a title for your chat box. It is recommended to invest some time in writing an
attractive and detailed description for your chat room purposes, so that people
can easily find your new Chatroll community. Detailed instructions on how to
embed your new chat room into your Blogger blog are provided here.
Free plan allows chatting in your chat room for up to 10
users simultaneously. Any time, you can upgrade your plan to the payable more
features-rich plans, and even utilize the income sharing moneymaking opportunities,
offered by the service developers.

Basic free account gives you comprehensive set of features
and capabilities to start with, like supporting up to 100 users and storing 150
posts in your shoutbox. You can always upgrade to the Premium account, which
will cost you $2/month for more capabilities.
