In the menu bar instead of having a http: go to the drop down box and change it to mail to:you@youraddress.com or what ever your email address is

Re: linking to an email address

I just noticed after publishing my website that none of the links work. For example: here's one: http://waynesalvatore.com/sports.html and another for contact us: mailto:mrphoto@msn.com. Neither one works.

Re: linking to an email address

Make sure for each of your links you have published the page for them. The sports page worked for me, but I will use it as an example

If you have the link

http://waynesalvatore.com/sports.html

You should have a BlueVoda file with the exact name as the red text. It is case sensitive.

Re: linking to an email address

I have set up the link for e-mail and it goes to email however when the email page opens it has the address as mail to:genesis2fabricator******.com

is there a way so (the mail) to does not appear in the address as it makes it part of the email addy.
my site is www.customplastic.net if you would like to try it

Thank you
Dale

Re: linking to an email address

Can you explain what you mean more? When I go to your site and click the "email" button on your contact page it is opening it up in outlook like it should.

Hi wsalvatore,

Your website, at my end, seems just fine.

One suggestion though.

The left side you have a bunch of links going out and
searching. To make index and all other pages cleaner, you
could make another menu item. Call it "Learn more..." or "Resources"
or something like that would make the pages look neater.

Other than, it's just great.

Re: linking to an email address

Thank you for your suggestions and comments, yes the email does open however when i click the email it opens up correctly but in the addy send to it is putting the words mail to: in front of my addy, I have to mannualy remove the words mail to , to get it to send, it is reading my addy as mail to:genesis2fabricator******.com instead of just genesis2fabricator******.com
Is the addy appearing in your mail like this or is it my mailer that is doing this?
Thank you again for all comments and support, this is what makes this a great forum is every one helping each other

Re: linking to an email address

Its only adding the address, and would send the email find if I tried to.

For you when it appears is mail to appearing as "mail to" or "mailto". If there is a space the is most likely a space somewhere that you set, removing it might solve the problem for you. (This is just a guess, I haven't a clue why it would work for me and not you).
