I've had the same e-mail address for years, and the fact that it's plastered all over the web (in web pages, comments, message boards, etc.) is certainly a healthy contributor to my daily e-mail spam. But, better late than never: I'm experimenting with an online contact form that, from now on, I'll be using as my primary online contact method. Here's the URL if you want to noodle around with it: http://www.hurm.com/contact/ (or http://contact.hurm.com/).

I adapted the PHP scripts on the form and result pages from a contact form system at http://www.ibdhost.com/contact/. I didn't have to change much, but this experiment is also helping to expand my knowledge of PHP.

For a while, I considered using a single Movable Type entry instead of a separate PHP script. I decided against that method since I wanted all comments to be private. This independent PHP form script allows for privacy, since it's all done through e-mail. Plus, like I said, it lets me dabble in PHP scripting.

Maybe after a week or so I'll start changing my site's various "contact me" links with the new page.

Share this page with family and friends…even complete strangers. It's up to you. Whatever floats your boat.
