I have just incorporated Skype into my Gallery2 website. It enables people to either talk/chat/send file etc (you can specify which). The best thing is that whatever your profile session is (whether away, not available, offine etc) It will display that too on your website

See here for a working example:

All you need to do is visit: http://www.skype.com/share/buttons/ and you can either use a preset button or a customisable one. I went for a customisable one which was small (therefore you can make the background transparent), enter your Skpye name, select what parameters you want etc and then i Copy & pasted the web html code into my author.tpl and voila.

If you haven't got Skype then visit http://www.skype.com/download/

Hope you enjoy and hope it is of use to someone.

Please let me know if this proved useful in any way.

Note: A warning box will come up when you click on Skype on your website, but this is simply saying that an external program is required to run. (See attachment)
