Description
Bootstrap Network is the broadest set of Bootstrap adherents, active members, and groups articulated as a social network. This social network uses several technologies to support granular internal efforts of groups and individuals, including Yahoo Groups for subgroups and Enterprise Teaming for projects.
Small World Labs' white label social network product is the platform for the macro-level Bootstrap Global Social Network. Initially launched only for the Bootstrap Student Community, the online social network, soon to be renamed Bootstrap Online, will be open to all bootstrappers around the world and will become a platform to connect all members and adherents. It is open to anyone who's interested in the bootstrap approach, including potential members that don't know enough to decide whether they're bootstrappers. It's the entry level for the largest organization, and those who realize they're a fit for the deeper work of the organization will eventually join other groups that fit. Others may simply network at the very high level of interaction we're facilitating via the Small World Labs platform.

Join-Now Link on your bootstrap website
Here's how you can add a "Join Now" link to your bootsrap website.
Just cut and paste the code below. It will cause a "Join Now" button to appeaer that links to the login page.
<a href="http://community.bootstrapnetwork.com/unlog.php?page_act=newuser&nu_code=0"><img src="http://community.bootstrapnetwork.com/images/join-now-button.gif" alt="Join Bootstrap Professional Network Now" style="border:none"></a>
If for some reason people don't like the image, or they want it to pull from their own server, they can modify the image and just modify the img src to point to the new location of that image. The a href and alt text should remain the same.
