How can I add my own link to the list of links for my Country of Service?

There are two ways to do it:

The First Way

Follow these five steps:


1. Press the button that says Create New Conversation.


2. Where is says "Type in a subject for the new conversation:" type the name of the web page you are linking to. e.g. John Smith's Peace Corps Ukraine Web Page.


3. Where it says "Add a Message", type or paste in the URL like this:

http://peacecorpsonline.org


4. Press the button that says "Preview/Post Message".

If you have entered the URL in the right format, it will be highlighted in blue and you will be able to right-click the link with your mouse and a new window will appear with the linked page.


5. If the preview doesn't look right, go back and edit. When the preview is good, press the "Post this Message" button. If you want to make further changes, you will have one hour to go back and make changes.


The Second Way

Follow these five steps:


1. Press the button that says Create New Conversation.


2. Where is says "Type in a subject for the new conversation:" type the name of the web page you are linking to. e.g. John Smith's Peace Corps Ukraine Web Page.


3. Where it says "Add a Message", type in the following:

\link{ http://peacecorpsonline.org , Peace Corps Online }


4. Press the button that says "Preview/Post Message".

If you have entered the link in the right format, you will see a preview window which shows only the "web page name" underlined and in blue and you will be able to right-click the link with your mouse and a new window will appear with the linked page.


5. If the preview doesn't look right, go back and edit. When the preview is good, press the "Post this Message" button. If you want to make further changes, you will have one hour to go back and make changes.
