 * Have you considered making this a general purpose ribbon plugin, i.e. for any
   kind of diagonal advertising banner?
 * The only customizable plugin I could find for this was last updated in 2010:
   
   [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/diagonal-advertising-banner-plugin/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/diagonal-advertising-banner-plugin/)
 * On a slightly related note, I did try editing the plugin for my own purposes.
   I’m no coder, but it was easy enough to do some search-&-replace to alter the
   preset text. Where I got stuck was with WooThemes’ responsive Buro theme. I got
   the plugin working with the default WordPress themes as well as another WooTheme,
   but I suspect the plugin failed on Buro because of its responsive design. Anyhow,
   I’ll see if the WooThemes developers can lend me a hand.

 * I have not generalized the code of the Plugin to be used with any diagonal ad,
   since initially when I developed the Plugin, I was concentrating only on Github
   ribbons.
 * May be if I get some free time, I might try to generalize it.

 * Cheers, that’s all I could hope for, just wanted to throw it out there.

 * A horizontal ribbon would be great.
