Hey, You, Get Off Of My Tag Cloud
Some of you may have noticed the recent appearance of this nifty little tag cloud on my blog. This is, in fact, not a tag cloud, but rather a category cloud. I do not spend time tagging my posts because there are so few people actually looking for content here and because I am just lazy about it. So, because I use the Category section for posting within topics in WordPress, I created a cloud based on those. I’m not sure that anyone actually will use it, but I think it sure looks cool.
It’s a simple mechanism that counts all the posts within a given Category and then assigns a font size based on a range within where those counts fall. The display of the category tags and their post counts is then random, creating a different cloud formation each time the page is visited or reloaded.
