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…if you left either of the font size fields blank in the config form, you’d end up with “divide by zero” errors in your output. This has been fixed.
I also made it possible to leave comments on the CTC page, so all comments regarding the widget will now be in one place (I’ll be moving all the old comments over, so the thread will be intact).
That being said, I’d like to start building a wish list for ver. 3.0 (and beyond). Please leave me a comment with what you’d like to see the plugin do in future versions. Already on the books are getting rid of the black default color and adding regular WordPress plugin (i.e., not relying on the widgets code) functionality.

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.
