Adds "Fork me on Github" ribbons to your WordPress posts

Description

Github Ribbons is a WordPress Plugin that allows you to add "Fork me on Github" ribbons to your WordPress posts or pages. You can enable the ribbon per post/page level or at global level.

Features

The following are some of the features of the Plugin

• You can choose between image based ribbons or CSS3 based ribbons.
• You can choose whether to show the ribbon on the right side or on the left side.
• You can choose whether the link has to open in a new tab or not.
• You can choose any one of the 6 different colours that are available.
• Configuration can be set either globally or on a post by post basic.

Styling using CSS

If you want to style the ribbon yourself or add additional CSS styles to it (like adding z-index etc) then add it to the .robbon-holder CSS class.

Development

The development of the Plugin happens over at github. If you want to contribute to the Plugin, fork the project at github and send me a pull request.

If you are not familiar with either git or Github then refer to this guide to see how fork and send pull request.

If you are looking for ideas, then you can start with one of the following TODO items :)
