When I have a slow day, I sometimes contact several agencies in one go. This often generates multiple requests for references and I'm reluctant to create a situation in which a referee is inundated with lots of reference requests at once.
John's suggestion of a nicely presented page with an easy link is a good one.

You can go to www.tinyurl.com and create and name your own little url for your WWA page. This is astoundingly simple to do.

something like wwa.proz.com/%ID% would be very simple to implement. And it's tiny enough (g).

Thanks! That works perfectly. You can make up your own extension which looks a lot better.
