Are you a Skype user? Have you ever heard of Skype? Would you like to have a free online phone service that you can use to contact all of your friends and family across the world? Well if this is so then getting Skype is what you should do.

Skype even allows you to place a "Call Me" button on your website or blog to allow your readers/viewers/users to contact you whenever they wish. In this article I will walk you through the process of getting your own "Call Me" Skype button and inputting it into your site or blog.

Adding A Skype "Call Me Now" Button To Your Site/Blog Steps:

1. Download Skype software from the Skype website, create an account, and log in. The Skype software doesn't take up a lot of space, it downloads in very little time, it's free, and you will not have any trouble getting started with it.

2. Once you've downloaded the software and you have an account, visit www.Skype.com and click Share on the top right hand side of the page.

3. Scroll down and select Buttons and Widgets from the tabbed menu that appears there, and select Skype Me! buttons.

4. Once you're on the "Get a Skype button" screen follow the steps. Enter your Skype Name and select a button that you would like from the ones available.
Tip: Choose the "Show My Status" button only if you want people to know when you're online

5. Preview your button and copy your generated HTML code for the Web.

6. The final step is to log into your website or blog and go to the place where you can alter the HTML code or enter an HTML code. Once you're at that place, paste the code you had copied before and press Save.

Note: If once you have put in your "Call Me" Skype button into your website or blog and it doesn't work, try doing it again. Chances are that perhaps you installed it wrong, in the wrong place, or you didn't copy the HTML code right.

Tip: In addition to the regular free Skype service, there are many other freebies that you can add to it provided on Skype's website. Check them out and try them if you wish; they will add more functionality to your service.

I hope that now that you have the Skype Call Me button, you are taking advantage of all that Skype has to offer its users. It's truly amazing how now the best things online are almost all free, enjoy it!
