Yahoo messenger status allow you to display your online status in your website. So your friends will know your online status even they are not sign in into their yahoo account.

And the question is:

How to put yahoo status icon in to my blog?
It so easy. Just copy and paste the script below in to your web pages and done.

But first you should understand it first…

There is 5 Style we will learn and i called them Style 1 to Style 5 (from left to right)

And every image have their own URL Address

• http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=YahooID&m=g&t=1 Style1
• http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=YahooID&m=g&t=2 Style2
• http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=YahooID&m=g&t=3 Style3
• http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=YahooID&m=g&t=4 Style4
• http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=YahooID&m=g&t=5 Style5

To make the url address become an image then we have to add a code:

<img src=”url address“>

And the the code become:

• <img src=”http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=YahooID&m=g&t=1″ border=”0″>
• <img src=”http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=YahooID&m=g&t=2″ border=”0″>
• <img src=”http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=YahooID&m=g&t=3″ border=”0″>
• <img src=”http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=YahooID&m=g&t=4″ border=”0″>
• <img src=”http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=YahooID&m=g&t=5″ border=”0″>

Why there is a border script?
Just to show an image without border.

All the script doesn’t work yet. The script is still showing an image and have no reaction yet.

To make image is available to click and sent you a message, then we should add another script:

SEND IM
<a href=”ymsgr:sendIM?YOURID“>Send IM</a>

And the complete script will become:

<a href=”ymsgr:sendIM?YOURID“><img src=”http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=YourID&m=g&t=StyleID” border=”0″></a>

SEND IM WITH MESSAGES
<a href=”ymsgr:sendIM?YOURID&m=YOUR+MESSAGE”>Send Messages</a>

The Script will become:

<a href=”ymsgr:sendIM?YOURID&m=YOUR+MESSAGE”><img src=”http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=YourID&m=g&t=StyleID” border=”0″></a>

HOW TO ADD LINK TO CHAT FAVORITE ROOM
<a href=”ymsgr:addfriend?YOURID“> Add to list</a>

The Complete Script to add to favorite room is:

<a href=”ymsgr:addfriend?YOURID“><img src=”http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=YourID&m=g&t=StyleID” border=”0″></a>
