   I would like to have an item in my sidebar titled "Contact" and once clicked, I want it to function as a "mailto" link.

   So, I have created a page named "Contact." It is showing in my sidebar but how do I make it link as a mailto, instead of a normal page link?

   I have used the plug-in "Redirector" to redirect these page links to other locations (ie: outside links), etc. But this will not work because it wants to add a "http://" to everything...when all I need is a "mailto"

   The site is http://www.wearesewcreative.com

   Thanks

   To put an email link in your sidebar, 3 possiblilities:

   A text widget with this:
   <a href="mailto:you@yourdomain.com" title="Email to me">Email to me</a>

   or, put in your sidebar.php template :
   <a href="mailto:you@yourdomain.com" title="Email to me">Email to me</a>

   or, add a new link with this in the Web address field:
   mailto:you@yourdomain.com
