E-mail links are an easy way to set it up so that people can contact you, and you can use any e-mail address that you want. The only downfall of this is that you might end up with a lot of spam, but other than that it works just as well as any other method.
The e-mail link contains basically the same coding as the hyper text link, the only difference is instead of using the "http://www." you use the "mailto:"
The code would look like this:
But to the user it appears as a link like this:
Click here to contact me
When someone clicks on the link their default mail client is activated, and a new message in opened with the above address already filled in.
