Footers and Address Tags

It's a good idea to leave contact and other information as a footer at the bottom of your web pages. This is the place for the <address>...</address> tag, which simply stylizes a block of text in italic and offsets it to a new line.

Make footers brief, informative, and consistent between your different web pages. Useful information may include:

• Title or subject of the current page
• Date it was created/updated
• Copyright (if appropriate)
• Name and e-mail for the web page author
• Name and hypertext link to an affiliation/organization

Note that all other HTML inside the address tag is legal, so you may modify it with bold tags, line breaks, and an href tag. Check an example at the bottom of the page:
