  I would like to add a few email addresses around the site which are clickable (so I would like to avoid the Mary[at]yahoo[dot]com format] and am wondering about the easiest way to do this.

  I have read that there is a way to use JavaScript to shroud the address so that it is clickable AND protected from spam, but I don’t understand how to do this. Can anyone provide super simple instructions?

  I am very new to this stuff, thanks!

  That is not a free hosted WordPress.com blog. You are posting to the wrong support forum. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and have separate logins. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
