The first section of bold text - "HOSTNAME" - must be replaced with the host name you chose while signing up for My Job Board. For example, if you chose to name your job board technicalwork.4jobs.com, then you would replace "HOSTNAME" in the code above with "technicalwork".

The second section of bold text - "LINKTEXT" - should be replaced with what the link to My Job Board to read on your website. For example, if you wanted the link to My Job Board on your existing website to read "Go to My Job Board" then replace "LINKTEXT" in the code above with "Go to My Job Board".
