Skype Tags for MT - Movable Type. How to add Chat tags, VM - voice messaging, and "info" tags. Add the code below to your MT templates and you will have active icons. There are a whole range of icons you can activate all using the same basic structure.

I used the "Author Display Name" field in the Author's profile. In that column I inserted for each person on the Skype Journal blog their Skype handle. Thus each time a call for my Skype ID is required I just refer to the MT field contained in . I also named the author template pages after the Skype handles. Thus multi-purposing the use of this display field.

This is the code for the four icons used.

<img title="I am.... !" src="http://mystatus.skype.com/smallicon/<$MTEntryAuthorNickname$>" />

<a href="skype:<$MTEntryAuthorNickname$>?chat" onclick="return skypeCheck();"> <img title="Click to chat with me!" src="http://www.skypejournal.com/blog/images/skypeicons/Message_16x16.png" />

<a href="skype:<$MTEntryAuthorNickname$>?voicemail" onclick="return skypeCheck();"> <img title="Click to leave me a Voice Message!" src="http://www.skypejournal.com/blog/images/skypeicons/Voicemail_16x16.png" />

<a href="skype:<$MTEntryAuthorNickname$>?userinfo" onclick="return skypeCheck();"><img title="Click for my Skype profile!" src="http://www.skypejournal.com/blog/images/skypeicons/Info_16x16.png" />

Skype Icons available here:
SkypeWebDocumentation - Hard to find on Skype website Available here as Word Document
As for all the tags... substitue call for chat or a phone number for the id number. I've looked and looked and can't find the documentation on the Skype site. Perhaps they will leave a comment and link.
