Requirement for members
There is only one requirement that you add at least one linked back logo from your homepage to increase awareness about the network such that it is fair to all participants.
- Logo should link back to the network page OR members page
- You need to place it on your homepage, anywhere you like. Adding it to more pages is optional.
Here is the logo which you can download, save on your server and reuse for your blog. Choose the size which blends with your site. If you have a better logo, send it over and I will add it here.
Q: How to add logo to homepage only (Wordpress)?
<?php if (is_home()) { ?>
<a href="link.html"><img src="image.gif" alt="ITB" /></a>
<?php } ?>
Q: I would prefer a text link, not a logo?
The text link was the allowed earlier till we updated these terms based on member feedback and discussion. A small text link buried among hundreds of sidebar links is not fair to all members. That’s why the logo was introduced for better visibility, which you can place anywhere on the homepage. If you don’t like the logo, send me a better one. The network will only work if members are proud to be a part of it and it has a fair playing ground. Displaying 1 small logo on 1 page of your site is fair to all members.
Leaving ITB Network

- Network logo with linkback not displayed on the homepage
- No new articles for over 6 weeks.
