Chat & Instant Messaging

How do I add chat or instant messaging?

Instant messaging from Meebo is best on your profile page, where you want users to contact you directly.

To add a chat to a page, or instant messaging to your profile, click on "EasyEdit" and the toolbar will appear.
Place your cursor where you'd like to display your chat or messaging window, and click on the "Widget" button in the toolbar.

The "Add Widget" dialog will appear.
Select Meebo Messaging

Select Meebo when you want site users to instant message you via the Meebo web site. We recommend using instant messaging on your profile page.

Go to Meebo and create your messaging window. Copy the embed code into the open text field and click "Add Messaging."
After you've added your window, an edit dialog will appear. You can change the size of your window by using the (-) or (+) options. You can also change where your window appears in relationship to the copy on the page by using the layout icons. When you're satisfied with the size and layout of your window image, click on the "Done" button.

Note: You cannot view a widget while editing a page; at that time, you will see an icon that represents your widget. Your widget will be viewable after you save the page.

Wetpaint Widgets supports Gabby Chat but not Gabby Button?

I just embedded the Gabby Chat widget into my wiki. I am now trying to embed the button to the home page so that viewers can see who is in chat. This is the code I am trying to embed:

"<a href = 'http://gabbly.com/http://catgirlalliance.wetpaint.com/page/Chat'><img src = 'http://www.gabbly.com/gabbly/presencebutton?t=http://catgirlalliance.wetpaint.com/page/Chat' border = '0'></a>"

This is the message I get:

"This widget appears to be embedding the same URL as the page it is on. Please try a different URL."

Apparently you can't embed widgets that contain the wiki URL in it... Is there anyway to disable this? Because it is really annoying when widgets use the URL in the html code. I am an experienced programmer but set up a wiki for less experienced programmers in my club. It would be nice if there was some way to insert your own html code in without it checking whether the code may be incorrect :P

I want to add a gabbly chat to my wiki, so i go to widgets and choose gabbly. I click the link that says "Gabbly" and it only takes me to a blank white screen with a small Gabbly chat box that does nothing.

So if someone could please help me
