Gentlemen,

Els, Adrienne, and Heidi aren't good enough for you?


Is there any online html code thingy that would allow me to show [visitors to]
my web page if I am online? Only ME, the author of the web page.


This sounds like the functionality I see on PCs of those who use various instant messaging products, like MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), XMPP, ICQ etc. And so, maybe these links will lead you to an answer, one that doesn't require you to invent something that already exists (at least partially):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Live_Messenger_IM_Control

WP says, "Windows Live Messenger IM Control is a service provided by Microsoft as part of its Windows Live services which enables websites or blogs to show the presence of Windows Live Messenger users..."

I have no idea if this meets your needs, how well it works, or what security issues this raises. GL.
