    [...] He implementado algunos plugins los cuales les dan ese “toque” al blog. Uno de ellos es Gravatar que despliega el Avatar de las personas que comentan el blog que previamente hayan creado su cuenta en Gravatar, para reconocer mas facilmente a quien pertece cada comentario. Category Cloud un plugin el cual te crea una nube tags con las categorias de tu blog. Tambien he agregado la sección del PhotoBlog en el header, que muestras las ultimas fotos que he publicado en Flickr. [...]

    Very nice – thanks!

    I’ve been looking for a simple tag cloud generator for Wordpress for a long time, and there just doesn’t seem to be one. TagWarrior is massive, complicated, and doesn’t seem to do a tag cloud on every page, just one one dedicated page.

    This was an easy upgrade!

    Actually, I found a problem. On v0.2 (older also has it), the generated styles for the tags are showned inside the body tag instead of head. This causes my page no to validate.

    Can you please fix this?

    I have a sugestion: instead of showing the styles after the tags, separate the functions and we make a php stylesheet file that calls up the styles function.

    Waiting for v0.3

    Hi Israel,

    For version 0.2, modify the source code.

    If you are not comfortable doing this, I will add an option to
    control the font face to the control panel in the next version of
    Category Cloud (which should be out soon).

    Cheers!

    Thanks for this excellent plugin. It ties in perfectly with my layout. I really like the small size of it too, as many plugins seem to have a lot of instructions etc. Yours is all right there, one file, 5kb.

    Thanks for your work.

    Really great. it works but please sort the documentation. The stuff at the top of the pge is now wrong for the new version. Once you enable the plug-in look for the new coontrol panel menu under plug-ins. You can configure there but you still need to put some code into the template. You need to insert ‘catcloud()’ (without quotes) between square brackets with the php code signifiers at the end.

    Hi Dave,

    I suppose that people could get confused if they don’t look inside the package they download for instructions. I will delete the old versions and redirect old posts (like this one) to the main post.

    Hello, Cat Cloud does not work with wordpress 2.1.

    I get a message with “No categories” at the top of the page.

    Thank you

    Hello,

    Any updates on catcloud for wordpress 2.1? I’m using wp multi user 1.0 wich is based on wp 2.1 and really need the catcloud to work.

    P.s. I would also like a checkbox for show/hide. Since it’s on wpmu I’d like the users to decide if showing it or not.

    thank you!

    Hello,
    I’ve updated to Wordpress 2.1 only to find that my beloved category clouds do not work. I too get a “No Categories” message at the top of the page. :(
    Any chance of an update?
