  How can I add an email link to both my home page and my about page? I want something that says: “Contact me: (email visible only to moderators and staff)” — and by clicking that link, it brings up a pre-addressed email to me. I know I can link easily to webpages — why can’t I link easily to an email address?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can use this code (in the html editor of course):
  <a href="mailto:MAIL_ADDRESS_HERE">LINK_TEXT_HERE</a>

  But you’d better try the wp contact form instead, so that you don’t make spammers happy.

  Perfect — exactly what I was looking for. Don’t know why I couldn’t find the info on my own — I guess that’s why I’m a newbie. Much appreciated!
