Placing an email address into a page is not a good idea in this day and age – actually for a number of years now – where harvest bots are trolling the Interwebs looking for nice juicy bits of data that can be passed onto those that like to send you SPAM messages.

Fortunately, if you are a WordPress user you can use the code below to add Shortcode functionality to your WordPress Theme so you can use an email address directly in the page.

** NOTICE: AS A RULE, do not place emails in the page, encoded or not.  Best practice is to send the user to a form where you can vet out the bots and ensure that only valid correspondence is sent through your server.
