skype thumb How to Hyperlink to a Skype Call with your Skype Contact ID or Telephone Number. It took me while to figure out how to make my Skype ID hyperlink, <a href=”callto:chrisabraham”>chrisabraham </a>.  It renders as chrisabraham.

Makes sure you select “Associate Skype with callto: links” in the Skype Menu>Tooks>Options>Advanced options.

It also works with telephone numbers like +1 (202) 352-5051 if you have SkypeOut. <a href=”callto:+12023525051″>+1 (202) 352-5051</a>.

Help! Skype has non existent customer service. I downloaded but it cannot log on for some reason. Does anybody have an idea what is wrong with my XP set up? I had it working once but after a while it stopped working (connecting calls). I had another $5 left on my account. Please respond to my email address.
