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.
  • Thank you for the advice. I will look into that option further.
  • Put a clickable email link into your page/post ONLY if you really like to receive tons of spam
  • Yeah You should get a form mailer.. check out appnitro.com
  • Definitely use a form to avoid spam. There are a number of good plugins for that.
  • Check out the Fast Secure Form on WP for spam free results
  • yeah... use contact plugins for wordpress, don't put ur email on the page, if you do that, i believe by tomorrow morning, you'll get tons of spam...

    • Thank you for the timely warnings.......

      I am still learning whats out there as for WordPress and am learning what can be done, but I'm very glad you told me what NOT to do.
  • use contact plugins for word press and use a form to avoid spam. I think it will help you.
