Messenger Status On My Website

[RR Newsgroups]

Does anyone know how to put a Messenger Icon and current Messenger Status on
a website? This would help my customers when they need to contact me
quickly. Any help is appreciated.

Greetings,

Microsoft doesn't have anything for this, but you can use a third-party service to do it.
Check out http://www.onlinestatus.org. You can sign up to various servers with the
technology, which have a MSN client 'bot' that you add to your list. Then, when someone
accesses the URL you're given (which you can put on a web page), they will see your online
status.

If you don't want people to see your online status from the web, all you do is block the
online status 'bot', and your status will show as offline.
