I clicked the link (IE6 on PC), it properly opened my outlook, and I just sent you a test email. So, it works.

FYI - not sure if you care about the asthetics of case, but your mailto link sends to Jimyeagerphotography, not jimyeagerphotography, nor JimYeagerphotography. This is purely cosmetic, but just wanted to point it out. Your visible email address in html is slightly different than what you put as the mailto: address. You may wish to standardize on all lower case, mixed case, etc. Personally, i think JimYeagerPhotography@gmail.com works best visually and ties in with your logo.

Thank you. You are right. That does look better, thanks.

Great!

Also, just a tip to think about...

I believe that if you put the mailto hyperlink under words like "Contact us via email" instead of actually displaying your full email address, you can cut down on future spam, since the bots that crawl the web for email addresses won't grab yours.

I never had much spam at all. I have Gmail and it filters all of it. (about 1 a week)

I just want it there incase someone can not pull up their mailing program.
