CTC – Version 5.0 Released!

I just updated my configurable tag cloud plugin to version 5.0. The big news in this version is the widget has been brought up to date with the new Widgets API released in WordPress 2.8, and you can now limit the tags displayed in the cloud by the number of posts attached to each tag. This will stop the issue of having a few tags that overpower the cloud.
I haven’t updated the CTC page yet, so for now, you’ll need to either use the WordPress plugin update feature, or visit the plugin page at WP Extend to get the new version.

I'll say this, it's been a hell of a ride!
When I created my plugin many years ago, I never thought it would be come so popular. I figured I'd get a few downloads here and there, but as of this afternoon, it's been downloaded 97,586 times...that's amazing! It also makes what I'm about to say even harder.
Got an idea for a WordPress plugin, but not sure how to start? Packt Publishing has you covered with their new release, "WordPress Plugin Development Cookbook" by Yannick Lefebvre. Through it's 11 chapters, Yannick takes you from setting up your development environment through publishing your plugin in the official WordPress respository.
Another plugin update...this time for my plugin for rearranging the admin menu to bring the Pages menu to the top. With version 2.0, on WP 2.8, you got a doubled Category link, and it didn't support custom taxonomies. As of version 2.1, it now does.
It was an easy fix, I just needed the time to get it done.
