<p>This plugin displays a ‘tag cloud’ of all the people in your community who have contributed to our blog by commenting.<br />
The more comments someone has made on your blog the bigger and bolder their tag. Thus, it’s a tag cloud of community participants for your blog.<br />
You also have options to customize the community cloud to your blog and needs.<br />
People can see how big your community is in a more visually impactful way, as well as being able to see who the major contributors are compared to the people who just comment once off.</p>
<h3>Upgrading</h3>
<p>If you’re upgrading from a previous version of the community cloud,<br />
you’ll need to deactivate and reactivate the plugin after uploading the new files.</p>
<h3></h3>
<ul>
<li>More Social – This version now includes optional “social” hCards. The plugin will check the website/blog URL of each of the commenters in your cloud and if they have an hCard it will include it on the commenters link.</li>
<li>More Efficient – The plugin is a lot more efficient than the last version. The cloud is no longer generate and displayed in real time. The cloud is prebuilt on activation and continually maintained as people comment on your blog.</li>
<li>More Accurate – Instead of filtering out commenters by name (different people might comment with the same name), comments are now filtered out using commenter’s email address, which is a lot more accurate. There is also an option to exclude, certain link URLs from your cloud.<br />

</ul>

<ul>
<li>Improved comment count display, to allow comment counts to appear in tooltip text, in the link, or not at all</li>

<li>Added the option to specify your own link seperator character</li>

Community Cloud Plugin

This plugin displays a 'tag cloud' of all the people in your community who have contributed to our blog by commenting.

WPKube

<p>The plugin renders a tag cloud using a professionally designed tag image as a background.</p>
<p>The plugin’s tag cloud is completely responsive and is correctly rendered in all browsers.</p>
<p>The primary application of this feature is through the “Cool Tag Cloud” widget, but you can also use the shortcode [cool_tag_cloud] to display the tag cloud anywhere where shortcodes are supported.</p>
<p>Here is the list of parameters that can be used with the shortcode, each with its own set of potential values (which are separated by the | symbol):</p>
<ul>
<li><code>style="default|silver|green|red|blue|brown|purple|cyan|lime|black"</code></li>
<li><code>font_family="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"</code></li>
<li><code>smallest="10"</code></li>
<li><code>largest="10"</code></li>
<li><code>align="left|right"</code></li>
<li><code>font_weight="normal|bold"</code></li>
<li><code>text_transform="none|uppercase|lowercase|capitalize"</code></li>
<li><code>number="20"</code></li>
<li><code>order_by="name|count"</code></li>
<li><code>order="ASC|DESC|RAND"</code></li>
<li><code>taxonomy="post_tag"</code></li>
<li><code>nofollow="yes|no"</code></li>
<li><code>animation="yes|no"</code></li>
<li><code>on_single_display="global|local"</code></li>
<li><code>on_archive_display="all|children|siblings|descendants"</code></li>
<li><code>exclude="1,2,3"</code></li>
<li><code>include="1,2,3"</code></li>

Cool Tag Cloud

This came as a blessing when I had written some custom code to show a custom Taxonomy cloud on sidebar. The options to customize are so cool, and I love the option to either show the taxonomy related to a post on a Single post page or all tags, that makes it so versatile. Thanks so much to the author.
