Honest Opinions please. - 9/5/2005 13:35:09
I would really appreciate some honest opinions about my website. I have never created a website before, and I have been only using Frontpage 2003 for about a month.
Thank you,
Jennifer

First of all, the tripod site is just so I can test things. Second, I was just trying out the guestbook thing to see if I could help someone else, it's already gone.
How do I do it so that email addresses cannot be harvested by bots?
Thanks for the input.
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer
I'm glad that the Tripod thingy won't be there on the completed site - it wouldn't lend an air of professionalism.
With E-mail addresses there are a couple of ways of hiding them from the bots - none are foolproof unfortunately but you can certainly cut down the amount of rubbish you receive.
First way is to hide the address using Javascript - there are loads of scripts out there that do this. If you go this route make sure you have an image with the e-mail address on it in <noscript> tags in case Javascript is switched off in the reader's browser (they'd get no address at all otherwise).
I tend to use e-mail obfuscation instead just to keep the amount of JS down. This basically subtitutes special ISO and Hex characters for the letters/numbers that make up the e-mail address. Most spam bots can't read this (yet). Here's a link to a site where you can plug in your email address and it will give you back the obfuscated code (it's very very long!): http://www.seowebsitepromotion.com/obfuscate_email.asp Just literally copy and paste it into the code. It will look the same on the page itself as when it was normal text.

K, I have tried the e-mail obfuscation, and it seems to be working, could you take a look to see if I did it right?
Thanks,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer
Almost there. You need to take this bit of "visible" code out:
<a href="mailto:
as the long line of gibberish actually includes that so you'd be repeating it leaving it in.
