LJ tip: Add Skype to your LJ profile

It looks like LJ now handles the <a href="callto://username"> syntax on the user info page, so while there isn't an official Skype block on the "manage info" form, you can add something like this to your bio:

skype: sbisson

<b>skype:</b> 
<a href="callto://your_skype_ID">your_skype_ID</a>
<img src="http://goodies.skype.com/graphics/skypeme_btn_small_white.gif" border="0">

[update: looks like LJ proper supports that URI format too!]
  • Current Mood: busy busy
  • Current Music:none

Actually, that's plain old HTML -- LJ isn't doing anything special with it. It's up to your browser to handle the "callto" URI scheme.

No, the LJ HTML filter blocked the callto URI format until recently...

OK; that makes sense. I tend not to put weird stuff in my HTML. Know offhand whether they also handle SIP?

It's a free VOIP service - peer-to-peer based. See http://www.skype.com

Okay - not exactly something I need to use right now.

Works on mine... but calling myself when I wasn't online first didn't work. *LOL* And I forgot my headset at home anyway.
