JOIN THE NETWORK

// zero friction. one image, one link, one email. the network grows one node at a time. //

1. TAKE OUR BUTTON

put this anywhere on your site. footer, sidebar, links page — doesn't matter.

<a href="https://www.blindsquid.com"><img src="https://www.blindsquid.com/button.gif" alt="BLINDSQUID — the signal was here first" width="88" height="31"></a>

2. GIVE US YOURS

No resizing, no guessing. Here's exactly what we need so your button drops straight into the grid:

Dimensions	88 × 31 px — the standard 88x31 button size, no exceptions
Format	.gif or .png (animated gif welcome)
File size	under 40KB
Hosting	hosted on your site — we hotlink it, so keep it at a stable URL
Alt text	your site name, short — used for the image alt attribute
Link target	your homepage URL

// if your button doesn't fit spec we'll ask you to resize it. save us both the round trip. //

3. SEND THE TRANSMISSION

Confirm your button is 88×31, hosted, and live on your site (with our button embedded — this is a trade, not a listing).
Email your 88×31 image (attached or linked), your site URL, and your alt text.
