To show your status on Skype simply add this lines in the /core/templates/frontpage_main.tpl (with crystal skin, but work also with all other skins) before the last </div> tag at the bottom source code.
Replace YOURSKYPENAME with your own Skype name.
You can see the result here Italian Virtual Pilots
