integrating messenger into website

Is there a way to integrate messenger in my website so that users can see
that I am online, click an icon and send me a message.

Greetings Robert,

Absolutely (gosh it's great to say that, for years I couldn't).

Head over to:
http://settings.messenger.live.com/Applications/WebSettings.aspx

After signing in with your Messenger Windows Live ID, you'll first have to tick the checkbox
to allow people on the web to see your status (be sure to click 'Save' at the top
afterwards). Then choose Create HTML and the option you prefer -- a IM window direct on the
page, a button to open the window (with your status) or just a status icon on its own.

After that you personalize it to your choosing and then copy/paste the resulting HTML at the
bottom to your site.

Hi,

Glad to hear it, although I'm just the messenger Smile
