  What exactly are your putting in the text widget anyways? Wouldn’t it just be as easy to just put something like this:

  <b>Skype:</b> myusername

  I am not sure what you are trying to put in and how. Without a description of what you did, it is impossible to ‘fix this problem’, as you put it.

  I think I know what he wants to do… you can set it up (not that I’ve ever done it) that a image is displayed with your online status on it and then you can click it to open skype and start a chat or call with that person.

  I can show you more easily than I can explain…

  But I wasn’t in any way, shape or form responsible for getting it to work. I just answer calls.
