I've noticed that many of our members have their email addresses directly visible on their websites which means that any robot cruising along looking for emails to harvest (and spam) will snap yours right up...having an exposed email address is one of the easiest ways to increase the amount of junk mail you get...which of course you don't want - so Hamid wrote up a simple little form that will help you
generate an encoded email address, it will still appear as usual on your site but those robots won't be able to recognize it as an email and will pass your site by.
Use
the form to generate an encoded email and replace it *everywhere* on your site you have your address...don't worry when you see the code, it looks funky and impossible, just copy and paste it in *instead of* the
entire mailto tag in your code. Any questions, let me know
How to use it:
-Just click the link
-Enter the email address you wish to encode into the field
-Click the 'encode' button
-The page will then prompt you to right click and hit 'view source'
(The reason for this is the encoded email does not display properly on a web page and so isn't viable for copy and paste, that's why you've got to copy and paste directly from the source code)
-Copy the line of code from the window that pops up
-Replace all email tags in your website with the new odd looking code. (It will display the same as your regular email address, but isn't recognizable to those spammy robots.)
