The <externalLinks> section can contain any number of <externalLink> sub-sections. Each of these are used to display project related links on the project report page of the Web Dashboard, and are meant as a convenient shortcut to project-related web sites outside of CruiseControl.NET.
Example
<externalLinks>
<externalLink name="My Link" url="http://somewhere" />
</externalLinks>

urls need to be encoded correctly. For example spaces must be replaced with the sequence %20
A decent introductory resource for this is available at http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/topics/urlencoding.htm
Unencoded urls will prevent CCNet from parsing the config file, and a "System.Xml.XmlException: An error occurred while parsing EntityName" error will appear in the log file.
