2. Get the code for the shoutbox.

Headers and footers are currently only in the default theme.

You can though create a new forum for example call it shoutbox and in the forum's description place the html code.

You can also use yellbox.  Yellbox.com    Ive had it on my forum for a few months now.    It works well.   I like Saybox, but found it makes the forum load very slowly at times,  so I looked around for other options.

Sweetangel.   It WILL  work,  if you copy and paste the code correctly and in to the right place.

You can either do as Shadow said above,  and put it in the headers/footers -   which btw will work ONLY for the default SMF theme,    or you can make a new forum, as SMF For Free said,  and put it in the description for the forum.

In the headers/footers?    You could try < align = right >    .    Im not sure if that
will do it or not...   Maybe shadow will jump back in here..

DC...    you will need to go to a website for a shoutbox and get the code from them.    As Shadow said, there are many out here.    I know Saybox and Yellbox both work well.        Once you get the code from them you can enter it into the description.   I did change the code on mine abit to make the box abit wider, and shorter.      They have support forums at both places, FAQs, and help files to help you out with it.
