I want to add a GitHub "Fork Me" ribbon to my template page and have tried pasting in the templates in the head tag and in the body tag. In both cases I get error messages like this from the blogger site:

Is it possible to add such a snippet of code to a Blogger site by editing the template HTML? Where is the correct place to paste in the code snippet?
I tried a suggested approach to add the code in a widget on the page, unfortunately the result was not 100%. The ribbon shows up on top of the post archives, whereas I would like to show it further out, see below:

and here the result:
I think it may be possible to achieve the desired result with templates modifications, but it doesn't look like an easy task (to me) to modify the template.
The template that I use is based on the "Simple" one, but it still has a lot of code in it when you view the HTML.
