Dreamy Tags

Dreamy Tags displays a customizable tag cloud filtered by categories and tags for clean, meaningful blog and archive navigation.

The plugin renders a tag cloud using a professionally designed tag image as a background.
The plugin’s tag cloud is completely responsive and is correctly rendered in all browsers.
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.
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):
<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>
</ul>

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.
