Here's an advanced method of using Mibbit with your Joomla site. In this example (see http://lovelineshows.com/index.php/listen-live-10-12-pst.html) it pulls the username of the person logged in to Joomla into an independent document, which provides the username or a default username if  someone is not logged in. Finally, Joomla wrapper calls my independent file. Basically it's IFRAMES inside IFRAMES. A little confusing, but the application is great!
Note: I will add instructions for 1.5 and add screenshots for this one. The demo is still in construction so please do not mind it being a tad messy.
