title: How to start a Skype chat – not a call – with a link
body: <p>You can put <code>skype:username</code> into the <code>href</code> attribute of a link and it works, but it begins a call, but I want to create a link to begin a chat (a text conversation). I know that <code>skype:</code> is a type of protocol, but don’t know how to create this link.</p>
