WordPress: Email Addresses

Email addresses should be written out as active (clickable) links.

Do not try to obfuscate your email address in an attempt to fool email harvesters; it does not work. WordPress will do this for you.

Do not make the link text anything other than the email address itself.

Examples for Email Addresses

Good: jsmith@hmc.edu
Bad: jsmith [at] hmc dot edu
Bad: Email Prof. Smith
