Tag Cloud

By Andy

Sidebar envy? Chip's is longer than most. He writes:

On the advice of Alec Saunders, I enabled tagging in my blog using the Jerome’s Keywords plugin for WordPress 2.0. Then I went through my posts and got all Chris Pirillo on the tags.

Tag cloud sidebar widget for WordPress, because my sidebar wasn’t long enough

Now go get all Chris Pirillo on your sidebar.

(Chris, your blog should be adorned with this widget. Hint.)

    Yeah, but unless it recursively goes through all my content (esp. content without tags), it does me no good. :)

    Sure, I just wondered how fast you’d get here if I said your name a few times. :)

  3. Chris Pirillo Says:

    How quick was I?

    Hey Andy, thanks for the post. I created this widget to help in navigating the posts, which it does. But one side-effect I should have foreseen is that I get astronomically more pages indexed in the search engines! Try searching for any of my tags in Technorati, and chances are I’m on the first or second page.

    Chris: you’re not the Flash but you’re quick: 40 minutes.

    Sterling: excellent!

    Alex, I updated this widget to include caching also. I realized that it does a database SELECT and quite a bit of array and text processing to render the tags. Now the whole div section is cached for up to 15 minutes. I think I may publish a template for a cached widget.
