  Is there a way to hide your phone number unless someone clicks a button to reveal it? Kind of like on CraigsList? I’d like to list my number but am trying to figure out how to protect it from getting ripped by robots so I get phone spam. Any suggestions?

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

  Hi, if you are talking about on the bottom of the Contact page, no, there isn’t a way to hide it till someone clicks on a button. I actually may be able to come up with a bit of CSS to do that, but the thing is, most scraping of phone numbers and email addresses is now done by script bots, and if we hide it with CSS, the phone number would still be there, just not showing visibly for human visitors. The bots could still find it.
