Wordpress & Skype

I was looking for the skype plugin in wordpress so that the site visitors could see my status, chat with me or even call me. The original plugin in the wordpress.org is a heavy duty with lots of features and different configuration options.

But as I was looking for rather simple solution, that didn’t fit. Luckily I found something that would exactly fulfill my purpose.

Just use this code in your sidebar.php to get your skype connectivity from your wordpress.

Skype:<img style="border: none;" src="http://mystatus.skype.com/smallicon/[your_skype_id]"
alt="" width="16" height="16" />
<a href="skype:[your_skype_id]?chat">chat</a> |
<a href="skype:your_skype_id]?call">call</a>

Here's how it Gets. 

Skype: chat |  call
