If you follow my blog posts here on Active Rain, you know that I share a lot of my staging via pictures in my post. For me personally, it's been a great way to show case my work and has fortunately led to many new opportunities.
Last week, while browsing different groups, I found a blog post by Teresa Berry (a fellow member on AR) who had taken the time to share a free online ribbon generator site. The site is called Quick Ribbon.
If you look at this blog post, you'll see the ribbon in action (it's at the top of the page, far right hand corner). See it? It reads: "Portfolio." When you click on this word, it automatically takes you to my portfolio page of my web site.
Here's Teresa's original post: Free, Fun, Generator...
As you'll see, you can select your color (I chose green to match my header background); you can select your font, the text or message you want it to read and then create the actual link (where you want the user to be directed to).
The process to add it to your posts here on Active Rain is super easy. Once you've completed making your ribbon, simply go to your "my home", "my settings", paste the code in the blog description box provided off the Quick Ribbon site and press update.
Thanks, Teresa. It's members like you who are willing to share that makes this Active Rain an incredible place.
