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.

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 >
2014-07-10 19:23:15 +02:00
< script src = "{{ site.cdn.jquery }}" > < / script >
2014-07-10 11:24:13 +02:00
< script src = "{{ site.cdn.js }}" > < / script >
< / body >
< / html >
{% endhighlight %}
And that's it. Happy Bootstrapping!
