Just a quick note to let everyone know that I have bumped everyone's favorite tag cloud plugin for Wordpress 2.3+ to version 4.5. What's new? The biggest change is the addition of an Options page for configuring the plugin when used as a template tag. As always, you can see the full changelog, get the new version, and leave comments from the CTC page.

Just a quick release to add a feature and fix one. The new feature is the ability to randomly sort the tag cloud. This option will show a completely different order of the tags to each visitor to your site. Not really earth-shattering, but it was asked for, so there it is.

Hot on the heels of version 3.1 (and the very minor 3.2) comes the all new version 4.0 of my configurable tag cloud widget for Wordpress 2.3+. What makes it new, you ask? Well, how about the ability to include your Wordpress categories in your tag cloud? It's a feature that people have been (erroneously) assuming CTC supports for a while, but I never could get it to work.

Just a quick note to let everyone know I have released version 3.1 of my Configurable Tag Cloud plugin. This isn't a major update, it just adds the ability to output the links for the cloud to an array for further processing. I have included a simple example over on the CTC as well as the new version for download.

Many thanks to the Wordpress community for pushing my humble little widget/plugin past the 1,000 downloads mark since I added it to the official Wordpress plugins browser. As of this morning, it has been downloaded 1,002 times since November 28th. YOU GUYS ROCK! :)

I'm proud to announce the third major revision of my configurable tag cloud widget has been released this afternoon. The biggest change (and one of the most requested) is the ability to use the plugin without using widgets. It's been a long time coming, and now it's here. the other big addition is the ability to show the number of posts for a tag after the tag itself (similar to the archive and categories options).

Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up on the status of CTC. I'm still working on it when I can, but I gotta pay the bills. I'm hoping for a 3.0 release just after the first of the year. The big new feature in 3.0 is going to be (hopefully) implementing the tag cloud as a normal Wordpress plugin, so it can be used by those who don't use widgets.

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.
