 * I’m looking to add a simple mailto to of my blog.
 *     ```
       <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
       emailE=('myname@' + 'mysite.com')
       document.write('<A href="mailto:' + emailE + '">' + emailE + '</a>')
        //-->
       </script>
       ```
   
 * Can’t seem to make it work.
    Works fine on html pages… I’m new to php.
 * I implemented:
    `<?php echo antispambot(get_the_author_email()); ?>` but I want
   a clickable mailto- this just displays the address, unless I’m doing it wrong.
   My goal is to put my email on within the footer, within a page, and perhaps in
   a post.
 * thanks for any help or advice…
