Put Windows Live Messenger on your website or blog

Please subscribe to my feed.
I have decided to remove the Live Shoutbox which I told you in this post. Simple reason, I need to come to my blog in order to see your messages, and it’s not spam protected and thus there are many spam messages coming in already although I have only put it up for a couple of days.
Now, a better alternative is to put Windows Live Messager on my blog. Yes, you can chat with me on Windows Live Messenger (previously known as MSN Messenger) directly! Don’t wait, type your message in the box on the left column of this page… get in touch with me. 
If you want to put this on your website or blog. It’s fairly easy. Login with your Windows Live ID at Windows Live. Windows Live ID can be your MSN Hotmail, MSN Messenger, or Passport account.
Check/enable the option “Allow anyone on the Internet to see my online status and send me messages”.
After that, click on the “Save” button at the top bar of the page to save the setting. Once that is done, click on the “Create HTML” link located at the left column of the page. Now, you have 2 options how to display your Windows Live status on your website/blog. Select either the status icon, or the web messenger control, depending on your own taste or preference. For me, I selected the web messenger control.
After that, simply copy and paste the generated HTML code in your website/blog template.
Now, all your web visitors can chat with you on your Windows Live Messenger. So convenient, easy, fast and most importantly FUN! I teach you a nice trick today, to return the favor, you come to my blog and date me, can or not? For pretty girls only. Terms and conditions apply.

OK. I found out how to insert it on Microsoft Publisher. Its very simple. All you have to do is insert a HTML Code Fragment box and paste it into their.

All I get on my site is this error message, My site is a Joomla site.
Server Error in ‘/Conversation’ Application.
——————————————————————————–
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a tag within a “web.config” configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This tag should then have its “mode” attribute set to “Off”.
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the “defaultRedirect” attribute of the application’s configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.
Any ideas guys?
Thanks

I just installed the latest Windows Live messenger on my computer. I had been using windows messenger that was already installed for a few hours beforehand. When i try to sign into Windows Live messenger, it says that the “Windows Live Communications Platform has encountered a problem, etc etc.” I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled windows live. Is there a way to fix this?

Hello, I apologize for if my English is bad, is that I’m from Brazil.
I adapted the code provided in the configuration page of the messenger:
http://settings.messenger.live.com/applications/websettings.aspx
As you can see there are 3 types: window, button and icon.
But the main thing that should be of interest to people who program for the web are the link, image and language status of the conversation window:
1) Link to the Conversation window
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX@apps.messenger.live.com & mkt = en”>
2) Image Status
3) Code of Client
Where XXXXXXXXXX will put the code of the user, each account from the MSN has its own code. That way you can insert into a database for example code msn user.
4) Translation of Chat Window
And at the end of the link part “mkt = en” sets the language of the conversation window in Portuguese of Brazil, the pattern as soon as you save the code is “mkt = en-US” (English)
But I need help solving a problem,
I have some clients with this scheme to work but others do not.
I configured each account to put them on the msn site, only some work, but others do not, always appear as offline.
Do not know why, it may be firewall?
If someone can give me a hint, please send them to
amaral.regis @ hotmail.com
Thanks!
