Minimalist Tag Cloud

Very nice little widget. After looking through all the other tag cloud plugins this is the one I found most flexible.

It just needs a bit of styling on the way it displays on the backend. But it's not important. It does its job!

Thank you very much :D

Great customization!

Customisable widget and shortcode to display tag cloud with option to show tag count anywhere you want.
