I want to allow my website users to contact me. I'll have a contact form but I want to include a link too.
An image or 'mark [at] hotmail.com' just doesn't look professional, so is there any way I can include a link on my site and cut down the number of spambots that find it? I'd rather do something rather than let my spam filters do all the work.

hiya freeipod1,
i'm no expert and i may be wrong, but i dont think there is any way to make an email link spambot safe, spambots find email addresses by reading the html code of a web page (spambots do not view the displayed webpage), so if your email address is included within the html code a spambot will find it.
From my experience, the best way to avoid spam is to use a web form. if your receiving spam via your exsisting web form, try Freeola's free script and include the captcha image, but this only works with freeola hosted email addresses, If you dont have a freeola hosted address and need a script let me know and i'll do my best to help.
Good luck and keep safe.

Your options are javascript or a bit of css that wont always work. Google for "javascript email obfuscation" & "direction:rtl email address" and take your pick.
Aye some good advice. And change your nickname back now ;)
