Thought those of you with your own websites might find this useful.
You may (or may not!!) be aware that spiderbots crawl the web harvesting email addresses, these are then used to sent spam.
One way of helping to protect yourself is to encrypt your email address so that the spiderbots cannot 'read' it.
This website has a great, easy to use, FREE, encryption service. I use it all the time and find I don't get a lot of spam via my websites.

Have fun! :)
P.S. If I have built your website for you, you don't have to worry, I use the encryption on them.
