<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>

<p><strong>FINAL UPDATE</strong></p>
<p><em>This plugin is no longer supported. I will be available for security patches going forward until December 2022 but, after that point, this plugin will be closed.</em></p>
<p>DreamHost has its own Cloud – <a href="http://dreamhost.com/cloud/dreamobjects/" rel="nofollow ugc">DreamObjects™</a> – an inexpensive, scalable object storage service that was developed from the ground up to provide a reliable, flexible cloud storage solution for entrepreneurs and developers. It provides a perfect, scalable storage solution for your WordPress site.</p>

<p><em>Please <strong>do not</strong> open DreamHost Support Tickets for this plugin.</em> Post in the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/dreamobjects">support forum here</a>, and I’ll get to you as soon as I can.</p>
<h4>Backup Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Automatically backs up your site (DB and files) to your DreamObjects cloud on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule.</li>

<li>Provides <a href="https://wp-cli.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">wp-cli</a> hooks to do the same</li>
</ul>

<p>Version 3.5 and up would not have been possible without the work Brad Touesnard did with <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-web-services/">Amazon Web Services</a>. His incorporation of the AWS SDK v 2.x was the cornerstone to this plugin working better.</p>

DreamObjects Backups

Love that a long-term hosting company I use has a specific plugin. Love even more that AFAIK they also pay the author of this plugin ;-)

Love It!
