Hey lanason,

Here you go!

<a href="mailto:(email visible only to moderators and staff)"><img src="https://lanason.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/lanasonheaderv5.png" alt="Contact Lanason"></a>

Adjust the image URL with suitable image. For the Twitter and Facebook links, just replace the mailto: with the appropriate URL.

The HTML I provided should be adjusted to suit your needs and then placed into a post or page.

Hi, see our support page on Email Links to format the link that will open someone’s email program.

You can use that to link an image as well, with the appropriate HTML. Here is an example:
<a href="mailto:(email visible only to moderators and staff)"><img src="your image url" /></a>

Actually, yes, the contact page is the best. Contacts go through Akismet so that it can catch obvious, known spammer, and having your email address on your site can get you a lot of spam. Spammers continuously scour the internet looking for email addresses so they can send you all sorts of “special” offers. :)
