How do I link to my email from website?

[smbwallace]

Could someone tell me how to insert a link for an email address? What I am trying to do is put my email address on my website so people can just click it and it flips them over to where they can send me an email. I set it up like a link but I did it wrong. Look at my website so you can see what I am trying to do. Thanks!

Thanks, our buddy justinpowell answered this question through his forum at www.getthenetresults.com! Everybody else on this board probably knows how to do it, but you put "mailto:" and then the email address with no spaces in the link box! Who'd a thunk it? :-)

Glad to have been of assistance! :D

One tiny problem with using the straight 'mailto' - you're inviting the spambots to harvest your email address.

You may want to use the Automatic Enkoderform (http://automaticlabs.com/products/enkoderform/) which will make your email address virtually invisible to spam bots (but, no method is 100% effective against them).

True, I just use a junk filter and go through it about once a day. Seems to work fine so far!

You're right and this is a good tool to try to solve the spam bot problem.
