Blibahblubah Version 1.1 for Wordpress

Announcing Blibahblubah Version 1.1, this is a plugin for Wordpress 2.5 and greater. This plugin allows the blog owner to customize the tag cloud so that any reader mousing over the tag cloud will see the words in the tag cloud flicker with a customizable effect. This is just a fancy bell and whistle to add to your blog.

The plugin is available from wordpress.org here, or you can download it as a .zip file (71K) here. 

Wordpress Version Supported: I wrote this plugin on top of Wordpress 2.5. I then upgraded to Wordpress 2.6.3 and it continued to work without any issues. I currently use it on my own blog running Wordpress 2.6.3. I plan to keep it working with each latest release of Wordpress, I probably won’t backport it to old versions of Wordpress unless there is heavy demand (and/or a large paypal donation).

Donate

Like it? Send me a message. If you really like it (or use this plugin at a commercial blog), why not donate? I guarantee that will get my attention on any bug or feature request.

 

         

Steps to Install

  1. Download plugin and unzip.
  2. Upload the plugin file to your WordPress plugins directory inside of wp-content.
  3. Activate it from the plugins menu inside of WordPress.

User Guide

  • The Blibahblubah plugin adds a options page that can be found from the wordpress administrator guide, through the Settings tab.
      

  • The Blibahblubah plugin options page controls the effects that occur when the user mouses over the tag cloud. You can adjust the font growth, the highlight color, the font decoration (bold, underline, italic, etc.), and bordering options.
  • Click on Save Settings once you have chosen your options, then visit your blog site to see how the tag cloud has changed. If your site is not using the Tag Cloud Widget, then this plugin won’t do much for you.

Credits

The Blibahblubah Plugin is built on top PHP and Javascript.
