Creating QR Codes have never been easier. Here are two sites that will get you on the two-dimensional-barcode-scanning-bandwagon in no time.

1) Kaywa: a mobile-service company based in Germany. Kaywa’s site features a generator that lets you create a basic QR Code. Straight forward and super easy to use, you’ll be able to customize, download and print your own QR Code with just a few mouse clicks.

2) ZXing: (pronounced “zebra crossing”) an open-source project that focuses on the usability of built-in cameras on mobile phones. ZXing’s site features a generator that is very similar to Kaywa’s, but offers several more customizable content options (e.g. contact information, calendar event and geolocation) – this is the site for you if you’re looking for variety.

If you have a QR reader installed on your mobile device, scan the QR above; I used Kaywa’s site to generate it and it works great!
