Well, I was bored a couple of weekends ago and decided I’d try and replicate the del.icio.us tag cloud used in the navigation bar on radar.oreilly.com. After I got it working, I figured I’d release it as a WordPress plugin so that everyone can take advantage of what I think is a cool representation of visual tagging. :)

Voilà, introducing the del.icio.us tag cloud v1.0. I did some digging around, and haven’t seen any other plugins out there for WordPress that do the same thing, but if there’s already one out there, well, I wasted my time. :p

It’s somewhat configurable, most of the styles are done in CSS, and what isn’t editable via the CSS can be modified just by passing different parameters to the delicious_tagcloud() function.

If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to comment. If there’s enough demand, I can always put out a non-WordPress specific version.

Enjoy!
