Code Help?

Does anyone have the code to insert into the template for emails? You know- "Email me" and if the person clicks on it, it opens an email with my email address?

Thanks!

1 tis easy H it;s a normal hyperlink with a special ingrediant:

<a href="mailto:everydaystranger@hotmail.com">Email Me!</a>

But be warned - spam bots with big sniffy noses will scent that code from a mile away!

2 If you replace the @ sign with @ it should help prevent spambots from harvesting your e-mail address. I have no idea if this method works or not.

Alternatively, it looks as if this would work better. It takes your e-mail address and generates a javascript code that will display your desired screen output.

3 Crappola... did it again... PINMF

replace the @ sign with & # 6 4 ; [remove the spaces between the characters]

4 Interesting, Madfish. But I'll bet the spam bots are well aware of it by now and are looking for that code as well. If not, they will be soon!

Helen, I'd just do like a lot of careful bloggers have done and spell it out as:

E-mail me at: helen "at" everydaystranger "dot" org

...or whatever the address is. Anyone who wants to email you will know what to do.

5 Or... you could generate an image file that spells out the e-mail address... no way in hell can spam bots pick that one up!!!

6 Interesting idea, Madfish. How would you suggest doing that?

7 Open an image editing program... I beleive even MS Paint would be OK, but I've never really used it... your new image would be no wider than your column... your backgroound color would probably be the same color as the background of the column... then use the text tool to add your e-mail address using whatever font and color you like... save the image file... upload that file to your site via the [File Upload] button as an embedded image... copy & paste the code into your template(s) in the appropriate location... [SAVE] and [REBUILD]... that should do the trick.
