Email link

USAIR

How do I put a email icon and link to my email next to the f for facebook in my header page?

Or do you have a better way for clients to get to an email page to contact me?

Thanks
Fred

putting an email link in clear text on your page is a good way to attract spam.

I'd recommend using the built-in contact form, linked from the menu element.

Thanks Denise I'll search around and see how it's done.
My coding skills are nonexistent.

The new SmugMug has been a blessing for me.

Thanks

I remember there was a way to create a spam safe email link in the legacy version by adding a javascript code (this thread); is there a similar way now in New SM??

Javascript is not supported in new smug (as I think you already know).

The built-in contact form was extended to include power users so that is one option. Another is to use a Wufoo contact form.

Email? How many of your viewers are using web-based email? If I'm not mistaken the method you reference requires an email client on the computer, not a web-based email.

That's precisely why I reckon a clickable mail link should be an option.
There are many cases, besides basic contact purposes, where a mail link could be useful..and it's a standard feature on almost any platform (free ones included )

You're free to add an email link to your page although if you make it clickable by using the full email address it can be harvested by spambots and you can't use the javascript method you referenced earlier. I still recommend using either the smug contact form or a wufoo content element. It's your choice.
