My Stuff
At one point in time I wasn’t an entirely useless coder. Then I spent 10 years working in IT and all of my useful skills atrophied. Oh, and about eleventybillion new languages/standards/etc hit the fan. If something is fugly, feel free laugh.

ITC is a WordPress plugin/widget which adds functionality to the existing tag-cloud generator.
At its inception ITC was designed specifically to counter a problem I was having with the native tag-cloud in WordPress 2.3. I like the new taxonomy features and I like using them accurately so I can retrace my thoughts. The problem is that even with a low-post blog like mine (~75 posts as of this writing) you end up with a massive cloud with 1019250 terms. At the time there were plenty of plugins that would limit the total number of tags displayed, but that was coming at the problem from the wrong end in my view.
Currently, ITC allows you to clip from both ends of the tag stream. On the front end, you can specify the maximal number of tags to display. This function is built into the WP code, just not exposed. The default (as of WP 2.3) is 45. On the other side, the plugin allows you to clip off tags based on the number of times they are used. A value of 1 is usually quite sufficient, but any number below the max(count) of your most-used tag should work.
To-do list:
- Add support for multiple widgets with different configurations.
- Add support for the remaining (but unexposed) WP native options.
