You might try putting your email address prominently on the site instead of burying it in your profile. I generally make it a habit of making my email address readily available on every page of any website I own. I haven't read through the comments carefully recently, but I have gotten tons and tons of spam on my blogs and no real comments but people email and talk to me about stuff I am doing and that is valuable feedback, as well as a valuable human connection.

So basically I should like put it in the side bar or something? I made a contact me tab which lists all the ways of reaching me.

That's what I typically do. I used to have it in the footer until someone indicated they couldn't find my email address on the site. They thought I didn't have one on the site at all. So I made it more prominent.

I am going to just hack up some dirty HTML for this. Any suggested widgets?

If you are using Wordpress, it has a "text" box. You can put your dirty html in there. That's what I did on several sites recently. If you want to mung the address, feel free to borrow the javascript from any of my sites (assuming you dont already know how -- you might know lots more than me, if so: nevermind).
