Yes, the text of the link can be anything you like, but the link address (after href=) is "mailto:me@spam.please.not"; - or whatever, but disguising the magic strings "mailto:"; "@" and "." reduces the probability that a spambot will harvest the address from your page. I thought that the capital 'I' was an attempt at disguise. > >pictures, but I may not "use" them.

I use my browser to take a copy of the image from your server - that's what happens. > metatags work as well. They're on the index page. I have to do more > of them on the inside pages. More housekeeping. Largely, I'm afraid, search engines totally ignore keyword metatags. (There are lots of metatags, and most have nothing to do with this.) In particular google, which is the most important, ignores *keyword*, and also ignores the *description* metatag, unless (IIRC) you get your page in the appropriate DMOZ category. > I would prefer not > to have lots of words on the image pages.
