Linking to the Responsibility Statement

Each personal Web page which is served from the presby.edu domain must contain the name and e-mail address of the author, and include a link to the responsibility statement (sometimes known as the disclaimer page) which is located at

http://web.presby.edu/rs.html.

For example, you might use the following HTML code, substituting your own name and e-mail address:

 
<p> John Doe, <A HREF="mailto:jdoe@presby.edu">jdoe@presby.edu</A>,
is <A HREF="http://web.presby.edu/rs.html">responsible</A> for this page. </p>
 

The above code will be displayed on your page as

John Doe, jdoe@presby.edu, is responsible for this page.

A potential problem with including your e-mail address in a mailto link as shown above is that you may receive more spam in your e-mail. Some people run Web-spidering robots that search Web pages for e-mail addresses and compile them into huge databases that they sell to advertisers. To avoid this, you may use a slightly disguised plain-text version of your e-mail address instead of a mailto link. For example, you might use the following code:

 
John Doe (jdoe at presby.edu) 
is <A HREF="http://web.presby.edu/rs.html">responsible</A> for this page.
 

which will be displayed as

John Doe (jdoe at presby.edu) is responsible for this page.
