+
+Quickly add Bootstrap to your project via the [Bootstrap CDN](http://bootstrapcdn.com), graciously provided by the [MaxCDN](http://www.maxcdn.com/) folks. Copy-paste the stylesheet `<link>` into your `<head>` before all other stylesheets.
+
+{% highlight html %}
+<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ site.cdn.css }}">
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Then, add the Bootstrap JavaScript—and jQuery—near the end of your pages. It's best placed right before the closing `</body>` tag. Be sure to place jQuery first as our code depends on it.
+
+{% highlight html %}
+<script src="{{ site.cdn.jquery }}"></script>
+<script src="{{ site.cdn.js }}"></script>
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Be sure to have your pages set up with the latest design and development standards. That means:
+
+* Using an HTML5 doctype
+* Forcing Internet Explorer to use it's latest rendering mode ([read more]())
+* And, utilizing the viewport meta tag.
+
+Put it all together and your pages should look like this:
+
+{% highlight html %}
+<!DOCTYPE html>
+<html lang="en">
+ <head>
+ <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
+ <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
+ <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ site.cdn.css }}">
+ </head>
+ <body>
+ <h1>Hello, world!</h1>
+
+ <script src="{{ site.cdn.jquery }}"></script>
+ <script src="{{ site.cdn.js }}"></script>
+ </body>
+</html>
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+And that's it. Happy Bootstrapping!
