Make your own ribbon now without waiting for a plugin designer to do it for you.

== Description ==

A ribbon creation plugin that will allow you to generate your own ribbons in real time. They have all of the features of the static ribbons you have enjoyed so far with the exception that you can set the Message, the Link, the Link Title (hover message), toolbar offset, no toolbar offset, the background color and the foreground color. You can also control the visibility of the of ribbon so you don't have to deactivate when it is not in use. The background color is the color of the shapes that make up the ribbon and the foreground color is the color of the text.

== Installation ==

1. Download the plugin zip archive.
2. Extract it in your `wp-content/plugins` folder or upload via admin panel.
3. Browse to your plugins section and active the plugin.

== Screenshots ==
1. The configuration screen found under Tools -> Ribbon Maker
2. Here's how the ribbon will appear on your website. 

== Changelog ==
= 1.0 =
Cropping has been achieved. Also added a radio button to control the visibility of the ribbon. Ribbon generates only during the configuration and not constantly as in v0.1. Added a preview of the ribbon, so you can view it before you make it active.

= 0.1 =
Inspired by All of the static Ribbons in the Repository

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Why are you doing this? =
There are so many notable reasons for wanting a ribbon. Why wait for someone to make one for you when you can make it yourself whenever you want.
= I don't see anything on my blog pages? =
Make sure you have set all of your options and that your FGCOLOR & BGCOLOR settings are sufficiently different.
= All I see is a bar? =
Your FGCOLOR needs to be different enough from your BGCOLOR so as to allow the message to be descerned from the shape.
= I still don't see my message? =
Make sure you have actually set the message.
= Clicking the ribbon doesn't lead me anywhere ... =
Make sure the LINK specifies a fully qualified URL.
= I don't get that hover message you were blathering on about. =
You have to make sure the LINK TITLE is set to something in order to enjoy the feature. :)
= Why is 0x000000 transparent or clear? =
Because I needed a transparent/alpha color and that is what php is forcing me to use. Grrrrr. So don't set your colors to that value else things will vanish on you. Use some other near black color like 010101 if you need black.
= Why are my color choices being ignored? =
You have to set the colors using hex values, but leave off the preceding # (hash). Example: you want black, that's normally #000000, so you enter 000000 in the color box of your choice.

== Upgrade Notice ==
= 1.0 =
Now with cropping, ribbon hiding on demand, and preview.

= 0.1 =
Considered to be an upgrade for anyone having a static ribbon created by another ribbon plugin.

== Additional Information ==
This plugin requires the GD image library in your PHP 5.x installation to be enabled and fully operational.
== TODO ==
1. Give you more control of how the ribbon graphic looks.
2. Fix transparency issue.
3. Allow you to create multiple ribbons.
4. Allow you to have multiple ribbons on a page.
5. Allow ribbons to be scheduled.
