cre8d design

Earlier this year I discovered a handy site called TagCrowd which can turn any text into tag clouds.

With the election campaigns formally underway here in New Zealand, here’s what the two main leaders have been talking about:

Helen Clark’s Opening Speech

John Key’s Opening Speech

With Wordpress now having built-in tag support, I’ve updated the plugin to show a list of your tags in columns that I originally created to work with Ultimate Tag Warrior.

The plugin will list Wordpress tags in columns and in vertical groups.

Installation

1. Download the plugin and rename from cre8d_tags_in_columns.txt to cre8d_tags_in_columns.php
2. Upload the plugin to your plugins directory and activate the plugin
3. Access the listing by including echo cre8d_tag_columns(); somewhere in your template. This will give, by default, 3 columns and tags grouped vertically in 5s. If you wanted 2 columns and groups of ten, use: echo cre8d_tag_columns(2,10); and so forth.
4. Add to your stylesheet the following:
   
   .list-column { float: left; width: 160px; margin: 0 5px; }
   .list-column ul { margin-left: 0; padding-left: 0; }
   .list-column ul li { list-style-type: none; }
   .spacer { margin-bottom: 20px; }

5. Optionally tweak the width of .list-column to suit your blog’s layout. You may like to change the vertical spacing (.spacer) between groups too.
