Hello All,

I have written and "About Me" page in WordPress (3.2). In my paragraph text I would like to add a hyperlink to my "contact" e-mail.

I cannot figure out how to do it.

I can see how to add a hyperlink to a url, but not e-mail. I searched for answers and plugins, but was unsuccessful.

Could someone tell me exactly how to do this? Is their a specific plugin I need?

Thank you,

Code:

<a href="mailto:youremail@domain.com">Email me</a>
I would recommend you install and use a Plugin like Contact Form 7 or CForms and make a Contact Us form instead. Putting your email in a link on your website will open you up for receiving LOADS of spam.

Put a clickable email link into your page/post ONLY if you really like to receive tons of spam

Definitely use a form to avoid spam. There are a number of good plugins for that.
