  What link should I mention in my email block to redirect to compose email page with my email address in it?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hi there,

  Are you perhaps speaking of the Contact Info block? We don’t have an Email Block on WordPress.com.

  If you enter an email address in the Email line in the Contact Info block, it’s automatically formatted as a mailto link, so you don’t need to do anything extra to make that happen.

  If you want to add an email link in any other type of block, you’ll add mailto: in front of the email address in the URL field for the link. In other words, your link URL will look like mailto:(email visible only to moderators and staff).

  You can add this link to anchor text, just like a regular link, in other words, the visible text can be something like “Email me”, and when clicked, it goes to that mailto link.

  Let me know if you have any questions about this.
