How to MailTo

MailTo is a fab way of having people click a link on your blog or website and it set up an email, all ready to be written.

I used to use this quite a lot and then I forgot all about it and stopped.

Combined with the Cryptx plugin I think MailTo is an excellent way of enabling people to contact you :-)

Here’s how

You just need a tiny snippet of HTML and insert it into a widget on your blog.

<a href=”mailto:sarah@blogmistress.com“>Email Sarah</a>

Copy the code above and substitute the email address (in red) for your email address, if you don’t I shall get all your emails :-(

The part in blue is your anchor text, change that to something other that email Sarah.

That’s it. Done.

Combined with the Cryptx it’s harder for the email harvesters to capture your data and so much easier for your readers / customers to contact you.
