Darren

yes thankyou darren i have watched so many tutorials more than once most of them.
Thats how i managed to build a beautiful website with vodahost http://www.hondenresort.com
In the end they drive you mad
if the answer is in the tutorials i missed it sorry
i have the answer anyway the url address has to start with mailto:
followed by your email address for any one else who missed that tutorial

Thats correct, glad you were able to find the answer on your own.

Hi honden,
Was checking your site. Looks nice! Think you should stop the side scrolling. To do that set aoo your pages properties to 600 x 800 (or 1000 max). This way all your pages will fit in everybody's monitor!

Cheers,

thanks for that nzbr
didnt realize that
building website on a 24" inch monitor
its true what they say size isnt everything
cheers again scott

I too would like to add a means of emailing me.
I have added a glass button called contact us - type mailto and URL is contact@egabc.com will this work? I haven't paid to upload yet as i am trying to prepare everything first, so it is difficult to tell if i have things right.
will i get a lot of spam with this method? should i be doing something different.
Thanks

The mailto method will also work in preview as it relies to the visitor's email client (Outlook Express or other) to send the mail.

Yes, since you post your email on the site, it is to be xpected that sooner or later your email address will get captured by spam bots so you will start recieving spam.
