  Help! I am trying out new buttons for my blog. How do I link my email or the subscription form to the button I uploaded? Thank you so much! :)

  I used the following code: Is there anything wrong with it? ^^

  <div style=”text-align:left;”><img src=”http://d.imagehost.org/0164/cooltext483766062.png” border=”0″ width=”83″ height=”42″ alt=”ImageHost.org” />

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

  Ok, I tried another code.

  <img src=”http://keziahcudilla.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/cooltext483766062.png” />

  It links to yahoo home page and I’m not sure if it’s the right one. Can somebody please tell me if the “Email Me” button is really working? Sorry for the trouble. Thank you! :)

  email links have to be in the form

  <a href="mailto:(email visible only to moderators and staff)"><img src="http://keziahcudilla.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/cooltext483766062.png" /></a>

  Note the “mailto:” ?

  AAAAAHHHHH! I botched the link. Use the one below or the email won’t go to you.

  <a href="mailto:(email visible only to moderators and staff)"><img src="http://keziahcudilla.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/cooltext483766062.png" /></a>

  One thing to think about is that it is never a good idea to put your email address on a blog undisguised as the spambots will find it and send you all sorts of stuff.

  My suggestion is to always use the contact form that is provided here. If you use it, make sure and type the shortcode into the HTML tab, not the visual tab in the page editor.

  Oh yes, thank you for being thoughtful. I guess I was concentrating too much on having the work link without thinking about privacy. @,@ I will try to work with the link with the contact form then. My HTML language is very basic so I have to tinker around for the codes. Thank you again! :)

  The beauty of the WordPress.com contact form, even at its most basic, is that you don’t need to have HTML knowledge because it uses a special shortcode instead. Anyone who fills out that form never sees your WordPress.com account email address, unless you reply to them, of course. :)
