Been listening to this show this morning...gotta love mixing news and comedy! :) Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me

So I decided to enter Design Vitality's WP theme competition. Even if I don't win any of the prizes (and they're some doozies...first prize is $1,000 and second is your choice of an iPhone or a Wii), it still gets my name a little farther out into the world.

The winners are chosen by votes at the contest website, which is linked below, so give me some vote love if you like my entry.

Every so often, you just have to pick up the camera to take a picture of something. This morning, it was the sky directly outside my front door. I'll let the picture speak for itself..

I posted a quickie update this morning to address the tag count function not working correctly. Turns out in doing some code cleanup, I inadvertently left one of the variable names that holds the count using the old name. It has been fixed, and you should get what you're looking for.

As always, you can find the most recent version (and comments) on the CTC page.

Just a quickie update to fix a bug, and add a simple new feature.

Adding what has been the most-requested ability since color, there is now a div wrapped around the cloud so you can style it via CSS (with some exceptions, check the page for info). The bug was the result of me learning php as I go.

After a few days of hacking, I'm proud to present version 2.0 of my configurable tag cloud widget for Wordpress 2.3. The big news in this release is you can now specify colors to form a gradient for your tag links.

Screenshot from my testing blog showing a gradient from #c0c0c0 to #000000:

The other big change is I have gone from using the Wordpress-native tag cloud generation code to using functions internal to the widget.

I've been testing the new version of Wordpress since the first beta (that's part of the reason the new site design hasn't gone live yet). It's pretty sweet, but in testing, I found the tag cloud widget that comes with WP 2.3 lacking in configuration options (as in, there are none). So I set about to fix that.

94 of them to be precise... :)

They are all in the Wedding Pics set, so it'll be easy to browse just the wedding photos.

EDIT: (09.10.07) - Added another 100+ pictures, made individual albums for each person who gave us pictures, and added each individual set to the Wedding Photos collection.

Mr. & Mrs. Keith Solomon! :) I'll write more later, but I wanted to get a picture up so people could see it... :)
