So how do I get a nickname to use the chat applet on the site?

You just need to pick a nickname that doesn't include the name Steve. You can use Guest to connect and then change your nick once you have joined by typing /nick newnickhere.

It won't let me do that. I can't change the name at all.

You probably need to clear your cookies, or at least any for wyldryde.org

I have tried that several times in the past as well. I emptied my cookies like 5minutes ago and tried again just now.

The Java chat applet is handy but not the best way to connect. I would suggest you get an IRC Client like IceChat or mIRC and connect by following the instructions here.
Alternately, at the bottom of the chat applet is a box labelled "Change nick to:" which you can use to change your nick and then click the Connect button at the top.

I figured it out and got connected using Trillian.
