If you look at the upper right hand corner of this blog you’ll see that it now sports an Ubuntu ribbon, courtesy of blogsticker.net.

Blogsticker.net can provide several types of ribbons for your blog. You only need to sign up, claim your blog and put up a javascript code within the header tags of your blog template.

However, as I was surfing for alternatives, I came upon Quickribbon.com, a completely free and no sign-up required site that can help you generate a ribbon for your blog that says anything and can link to anywhere. I’m using a ribbon generated from quickribbon.com on my main blog, Balay ni Bambit, to promote my post “The Sun Sets on the Nayong Pilipino.”

The main difference between the two is that blogsticker.net is a community, while Quickribbon gives you just that–a quick ribbon–and a choice of where you want to link to, and the option to stay in the same browser window or open a new one for the link. Blogsticker links you up with other blogs with the same sticker as you have, and can also show you other blogs with other ribbons that you might want to try on.

If you have more than one blog you can register them all under one blogsticker.com account, with different ribbons displaying on each blog.
