Hey, I am putting together my 'contact us' page of my website (it is one of the last few pages that I have to put together to be complete) so I am not trying to change my productions process (pls don't suggest that I switch to wordpress or anything)

I know that this simply has to involve some sort of code, right? I can do that....I can change the code in my web editor, I just need directions on which code to change, and to what. However, I'm assuming that the code is different depending on which template your working with so if anyone is willing to help me out with this right quick then I maybe I could send someone the code that I have, and then let me know what I would have to change. I guess all I am asking for is an expertly trained eye. haha.

This is vital though, I ask anyone for advice on this, I've tried contacting the hostgator department (my hosting), dreamtemplate(my template place), and random forums and noone has given me anything to really work off of. So...please?...anyone?

Thank you a TON if you help me out with this, either drop me a few lines here on the forum with your advice, or let me know if anyone is willing to help me out with this one on one super quick, I'll give you my email and page of code that I am working with for this.

Thanks SO SO much in advace, truly hope to hear from someone.....

    Usually it is just this line in your source code

    <a href="mailto:NAME@SITE.COM">name@site.com</a>

    where NAME@SITE.COM is and email address.

    The problem with this is the spambots will find it and put your email on every spam list.
    The solution is to just make a .jpg image with the email address on it and put it on a blank page, with a link from the word "Contact" on your home page.

    Visitors to your site will then click "Contact," be sent to this new page with the email .jpg and simply need to type your email address into their email software to send to you. On one of my sites the "Contact" takes people to a .jpg with my email and my phone number. As I recall, I even put my photo there to scare them away.

    The DirectAdmin control panel has a really good contact form. I always thought most control panels would have one. It's not exactly a rare exotic requirement on a site.

    But I've been getting the impression that they don't all have that. There are free online scripts. sourceforge.net would probably have a couple.

    The email address Don mentioned is the simplest, but don't like to do it that way myself.
