RITA BUMP: In light of hurricane Rita heading for Texas and the fact that people are still showing an interest in getting these on their sites, I am bumping this back to the top. Many of you have already made contributions, if possible please give again. If you haven’t given yet, please do if at all possible. Help is still needed and will continue to be needed for some time. The ribbons remains at the top of this blog. Just click on it and make your contribution.
Thanks.
If you would like to add an American Red Cross donation ribbon like the one at the top of this page here is how you can do it:
Save one of these images and upload it to your server.
To put the ribbon on the right side of your page place this bit of code in your css style sheet:
.banner {float:right; position:absolute; top:0px; right:0px;}
And place this right below the <body> tag:
<div class="banner">
<img src="http://YOUR_IMAGE_LOCATION/arc_rib.gif" usemap="#banner" border="0" style="width:200;height:200;" /><map name="banner"><area shape="poly" COORDS="16,1,57,0,199,142,199,185" href="https://www.redcross.org/donate/donation-form.asp" alt="Donate to the Red Cross Hurricane Relief Effort" title="Donate to the Red Cross Hurricane Relief Effort" /></map>
</div>
To put the ribbon on the left side of your page place this bit of code in your css style sheet:
.banner {float:left; position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px;}
And place this right below the <body> tag:
<div class="banner">
<img src="http://YOUR_IMAGE_LOCATION/arc_rib_left.gif" usemap="#banner" border="0" style="width:200;height:200;" /><map name="banner"><area shape="poly" COORDS="142,1,186,1,2,183,0,139" href="https://www.redcross.org/donate/donation-form.asp" alt="Donate to the Red Cross Hurricane Relief Effort" title="Donate to the Red Cross Hurricane Relief Effort" /></map>
</div>
UPDATE: I know that some of you will be donating to charities other than the Red Cross. There are dozens of good ones that are contributing to this effort; Instapundit has a list. If you would like a ribbon for one of them, please let me know. I have a template already created so I should be able to get something for you in short order (once I get home this afternoon). I will be creating ribbons for those listed there as I have time. Drop me a line using the contact link at the top of the page and let me know for which charity you would like a ribbon. Include a web address and if you have any graphics you would like to use, include them too.
If you have any questions on adding this to your blog, please use the contact link at the top of the page and I will try to help. If you would like to point your readers to this post, I encourage you to create a trackback. They will appear below:

I have had a couple of requests for a ribbon for Catholic Charities. I have started one and will finish it when I get home from work this evening. By the way, thanks to everyone who is doing what they can to help in this tragic time.

The atmospheric climatic storms DID NOT end with the Hurricane season for others. Just when people were preparing for upcoming Thanksgiving Holidays in Indiana & Kentucky the first week in November, Very Violent tornadoes erupted causing death, injury, and TOTAL destruction. WINDS in excess of both those hurricanes clocked at over 210MPH!! sent people into a panic looking for shelter as 3 weeks in a roll Tornado Warnings were issued for the same midwest area, 2 of those resulted in f4 strikes in various towns, one of which was Evansville, Indiana. You can read about it in my blog.
