 * I have just completed my first site. Everything looks fine so far but I’m having
   problems setting up my e-mail address as a hyperlink. It’s a proper link in Chrome
   that does send a message to me when clicked but in other browsers my e-mail address
   on my pages appears as normal text that can not be clicked. How do I make my 
   e-mail address clickable in all browsers? Thank you. Barney

 * Here’s the solution I found to solve my own problem:
 * 1. Select the e-mail address.
    2. Click the Insert/edit link button in the toolbar.
   3. In the URL box, type mailto:youraddress@xxx.com 4. In the Title box, type 
   what you want to appear when users hover over the link such as “Send e-mail to
   [myaddress@xxx.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-an-e-mail-hyperlink/myaddress@xxx.com?output_format=md)”
   5. Click “Add Link”.
