And that's the way it works:

  1. Do you already have the newest Messenger version? The newest is Windows Live Messenger 2008 (8.5.1302.1018) ;)
  2. If not done yet, install Messenger Plus! Live, the best extension library for Windows Live Messenger.
  3. Now download the script WLMStatus, it will be imported in Messenger.
  4. Done! Display your current status by inserting the image address http://wlmstatus.net/status/your_email@provider.com.png as image into your home page or by using it as your signature in forums etc.
  5. You will find more styles for the status image at http://wlmstatus.net/status/your_email@provider.com-1.png, where you can replace the 1 by any numbers.
  6. The language used for the texts (e.g. “Busy” etc.) is controled by the domain name of the website in which the image is inserted. When it's a .de domain, German texts will be used, otherwise English ones :)
  7. But you can also define the language by inserting after the number, but before the .png a hyphen and the language shortcut.
    Examples:
    your_email@provider.com-de.png (Standard style, but always German)
    your_email@provider.com-4-fr.png (Style 4, always French)
  8. Questions? Just mail me…

Your help is needed – now!

There is something you can do to make WLMStatus stay online! You want to know what it is?

Find hosting for image servers!

Doesn't matter if it is your own hosting or a friend's hosting or a free hoster. If you know somebody in the business who would be able to do you a favor, or if you have a server of your own, why not talk to them or create a subdomain for WLMStatus?

If you've found a hosting, make sure there is FTP, PHP and MySQL support as well as .htaccess allowed. The hosting should have at least 200-500 MB webspace, and the more traffic per month is allowed, the better. Upload a test .htaccess file with 'Redirect ./ http://www.google.com/ [L]' as contents and call the address of the hosting to make sure the stuff is working correctly. Then tell me the login data using a mail to support@wlmstatus.net. Thanks in advance for your support, as this is a very important part for WLMStatus!
