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.
