  I’m sorry for the late reply on this, but at one point last week image caption links in the Gallery were broken.

  Now that it’s been fixed let me suggest that you not use a “mailto” link in the caption, as you’ve set this up, unless you have really good sp*m fighting software installed on your company server. Sp*m bots troll websites looking for this type of link.

  Either obfuscate the email address (must be non-javascript due to code limitations here on WordPress.com) or add a general contact form in a text widget in your sidebar or on your existing contact page. The contact form has the added benefit of being filtered through Akismet so any potential spam is trapped on the Feedback page in your Dashboard.
