Chat To Clients While They Browse Your Website - It Doesn't Get Much Better Than That!

By -
Wouldn't it be great for potential new clients to be able to contact you immediately if you are online the same time as them?

Get a skype button, they can easily be used on your google site, blog or even in your email signature to let other people contact you easily.

1) Navigate to this website:
http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/tell-a-friend/get-a-skype-button/

Enter your skype name > Select the button you would like to use. I am using a button which shows my skype status.




Click in the web html code box and copy the code that has been automatically generated.




Now navigate to the page on your website where you would like you skype status button to appear.

Click on edit page > Insert > More gadgets > Featured > Embed gadget > Paste in your html code




Customise the gadget in the following way:

Untick include border around gadget > Untick display title on gadget > Change the width to 150 and the height 60

Finally, click ok, save and enjoy your skype button!!

Also add your google site to the new google sites directory, or check out some of the sites for inspiration.

Take care and I'll blog again very soon. As always if you have any questions or would like a topic exploring let me know!

Tip - Using Social Media Buttons

Hey, I'm Web Princess aka Beckystar and welcome to my first blog, thank you Kyle for having me! Using social media buttons to share your site or content is easy and expected by your visitors. Social buttons or icons facilitate the sharing of your site, content or blog and are now a linchpin of social media. It’s not enough to simply produce content these days. Your fans (hooray for them!) want a gizmo (I prefer gizmo to gadget) in place to allow them to share what they have read or seen with their family, friends and colleagues on Facebook, Twitter etc. Lucky for us there are some great tools out there. Next I have featured my top 3. 1. AddThis is my favourite. All you have to do is join, and it's free! However it does not work on google sites. All is not lost as good news! The amazing guys at AddThis have provided us with a google sites gadget. Go to your site, hit edit page and place your cursor where you want your social media buttons. Click on insert then more gadgets, in

RSS Feed for Google Sites!

A Reliable Gadget for Embedding your Feeds I was struggling just weeks ago trying to create a RSS feed that looked decent and accomplished what should be a simple task. This minor update caught me by surprise and I am happy to see it. I was using FeedWind to accomplish a RSS feed through an iframe, that means my html was hosted with a third-party and embedded onto the webpage via Mori79's iframe gadget (search iframe under public gadgets and it is the first one). The Slideshow Option. Not terribly useful, but nice. Anyways, no more iframes, just a customizable, easy to use Google-endorsed gadget. We at Kirksville Web Design have already fully tested out this gadget including the interesting display feature, slideshow. The slideshow only shows the title as a link and a thumbnail. It's not the most useful or aesthetically pleasing, but I'm all for options here. No Transparency Allowed on Hexcode for bg color. Here's the original post below. Enjoy! Better

So, it might have been several years since I've made a new post on this blog, but that doesn't mean that I've stopped working on Google Sites. This month specifically I have poured hours into designing premium Google Sites templates that go above and beyond the standard offering of Free Google Sites templates . I've enjoyed crafting these themes, utilizing all the new tools available to me on the platform.  Here are some quick screenshots, but if you want to explore the full templates, come on over to my website.
