-The widget should be added to the end of your existing footer. ​ It's invisible, so don't worry about it mucking up the way your footer looks. ​ Once you're in the HTML editor, go to the end and add 1-2 new lines. ​ Then right click and select "​paste"​ or type (CTRL+V on Windows or CMD+V on Mac) to paste the widget. ​  +

-Finally, remember to press __Update__ and then __Save__. ​ Congratulations,​ you're done!  After saving you should be able to see your new chat appear on your site.  If you don't, just try refreshing the page a few times or turning your computer on and off again (to remove your cache). ​ Good luck!+
