    Hi there,

    Do you mean you want a hyperlink people can click to email you? If so, you can do it in the Text editor of a post or page or in a Text widget with HTML similar to the following:

    <a href="mailto:(email visible only to moderators and staff)">Click here to email me!</a>

    You could also use a contact form:
    Contact Form

    Let me know if you have further questions!

    HI, I’m still having trouble. I don’t know how to write html text and there isn’t any email already set up in the widgets contact file. I’m using the twenty ten theme. I set up a contact form as you suggested but it is not interactive. I want people to click on my name or email address and have it come up as an email that can be sent to me. The contact form also shows the web address of my initial web page and not the present one I am working on.
    Help again!!

    Hi there,

    I noticed that when I visited your Contact page, there was no form embedded. However, to convert any standard hyperlink, just add “mailto:(email visible only to moderators and staff)” in the link editor window, as shown here:

    Be sure to replace the italicized text with your actual email address.

    . I want people to click on my name or email address and have it come up as an email that can be sent to me.

    Please note that the above email link will not work for all users. For example, I use Gmail, so when I click on a link like that, nothing happens, as I don’t use a program on my computer to manage my mail.

    With that in mind, it is a good idea to include a contact form on your page as well, to make sure you are covered.

    Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
