VisualCV Tutorial

Linking a portfolio image to an external website helps add dimension to your VisualCV. For example, suppose you want to showcase a website you designed. You can link a "thumbnail" image of the site's home page to the actual website so your viewers can see all of the hard work you did with navigation and interactivity. Follow these steps to learn how.
