Gossamer Threads is developing quality plugins to enhance your WordPress experience.

Here are a few that we’re working on right now, some of them are even implemented into this very blog!

Gossamer Threads Tag Cloud v0.2

Status: Enabled on this blog
Description: This plugin allows you to create tags for your posts and display them in a cloud on the sidebar. Tags with more hits are displayed in a bigger font to express popularity or emphasis. Tags can also be displayed underneath the post entry! (v0.2)

Features

Convenient tagging is achieved through an added dropdown menu, displaying existing tags. When writing posts, you can select existing Tags in the dropdown menu provided. Append as many as you want! Any duplicate tags will be handled accordingly so you don’t have to worry about doubled tags in your cloud.

Other Features Include:

• Pretty URLS - display proper, SEO’d urls for tags!
• Choose your own delimiter - Either “space”, “,” or “;”
• Set the Maximum Font Size
• Set Maximum number of Tags
• List tags by Alphabetical Order or Top Rated Centered
• Set the number of days tags are valid for
• Set amount of padding surrounding the Tag Cloud
• Set if you want Tags to be displayed underneath the post entry (v0.2)

Notes: This plugin is not supported in v2.3 - It’s a good idea to select your delimiter (how the plugin will define individual tags in a list) and save the options before fully using the plugin. You can do so in the Tag Options” menu (Options->Tags).
