** Note to previous users of 1.0: ** This is essentially a new plugin. The old chat badge can be added to your sidebar by copy and pasting google's badge code into a normal text widget.

Using Google Talk, you can now simulate a professional live chat system on your website! This plugin allows further flexibility over Google Talk by allowing customizeable online/offline status badges, as well as wrapping the chat window in a smooth overlay effect, avoiding the need for ugly popups.

New features in 2.0:

• Multi-account fallback (when one goes offline, another available account will be used).
• Google Talk client is wrapped in a overlay widget.
• AJAX online status checking - visitors don't need to refresh the page when you come back online.
• Customizeable online and offline icons
• Customizeable link for offline clicks (e.g. your contact form)
• Template tag and shortcode available
• Online status caching for higher traffic volumes.
