How do I add an email link to my blog page sidebar using existing text widget?
-
I’ve tried the Email me! HTML code with a URL destination and a contact form and everything I’ve found on the help topics, and I can’t get an Email me! link into the sidebar of my blog page. I don’t want it on individual posts, I want to add it to one of the text widgets that’s already there. I get the code from the editor, but when I paste it into widget, it stays static, won’t link.
HELP! Been trying to do this for almost two hours now.
thanks,
anny

Hi Anny,
I’m afraid the “mailto” tag won’t work because we strip certain code for security reasons. To see what HTML tags are and aren’t allowed, please visit:
