The Contact section on your homepage provides visitors an easy way to reach you while protecting your email from spam bots.

Email Configuration

Set your contact email in _config.yml:

email: "your@email.here"

Email Protection

Don’t worry about email harvesting—the theme automatically applies JavaScript obfuscation to your email address. This means:

• Your email displays correctly to human visitors
• Automated spam bots cannot easily scrape your address
• The email link works normally when clicked

Write your email in plain text; the protection is handled automatically.

Customizing Contact Text

To modify the contact section’s message, edit _includes/contact.html. The default text invites visitors to reach out, but you can customize it to:

• Specify preferred contact methods
• Set expectations for response times
• Add context about what inquiries you welcome

Alternative Contact Methods

While the Contact section focuses on email, consider complementing it with:

• Social buttons for professional networking (LinkedIn, Twitter)
• GitHub for code-related discussions
• A contact form using services like Formspree (requires custom integration)

Tips

• Use a professional email address
• Consider creating a dedicated email for your website
• Combine with social buttons for multiple contact options
• Keep the contact message welcoming and clear
