Dead end links
-
Good morning! I posted a blog with my email address and website URL. When anyone clicks on them they are brought to a WordPress site with this message: “Not Found. Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.” Can you help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

Can you give a link to the post that includes that information to make it easier to troubleshoot?
I poked around and found a post here http://charleybowman.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/the-only-economic-development-calculator/ that had a website link and an email address (not a link). The website link worked for me, although the website it linked to had some formatting issues for me. The email address was not a link.
Best practice encourages the use of a contact form rather than posting your email address on your website and inviting a lot of spam.
That being said, a mailto link is formed in this way:
<a href="mailto:(email visible only to moderators and staff)">Email User</a>That being said

You have many articles, but the basics apply to any of them.
Check out this support document on creating links:

Houstonweaver: That’s the problem. I tried both the link and link symbol on wordpress to create the link. Neither of them worked. I redid the email after I read your first post and that worked for the email address.

Make sure you are using the whole link : http:// yourwebsite.com/
If you don’t mind switching to text (HTML) mode on your post tab, you can use this for your link:
<a href="http://example.com">http://example.com</a> -
