Put online indicator in our web page

Sometimes as an administrator or service center of a web site we would like to show whether we are online or not so that the customers know that they could contact us directly (if we are online). Or simply as an individual we would like to allow our visitor to see us whether we are online and able to receive any instant message.

Online indicator in our web page

We can easily put the online indicator in our web page by embedded a specific code into the web page.

For Yahoo Messenger, put this code into your web page. Simple replace "fooname" with your yahoo id:
<a href="http://edit.yahoo.com/config/send_webmesg?.target=fooname&.src=pg">
<img src="http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=fooname&m=g&t=2" border="0">

For GTalk:
1. Login to your google account
2. Visit: http://www.google.com/talk/service/badge/New
3. Copy and paste the code generated on the box to your web page

For Skype:
1. visit: http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/tell-a-friend/get-a-skype-button/
2. enter your skype id.
3. Choose the icon you desire.
4. Copy and paste the code generated in the box
