Arghh – I should have thought of that idea of having a form that would do next to nothing, except go to my email page. I guess I thought the various forms always would ask the user for some input, and eventually always send me an email.
Well, since you did’t say what I did was bad practice, I think I’ll stick to it. It also taught me a thing or two about php, which was a nice lesson for a database buy like me. And others who are making searches similar to mine may end here and get several options.
