LOL … I clicked on the link you provided and the wacko work filter stopped it … category “sex”. D’oh … what part of WordPress, or “wp-cumulus-released” is “sex”. OK, it looks cool … but sexy??

LG … I never noticed, although I try to keep up with the latest versions of WP …. maybe the fact that I have Easy Gravatars running superceded that functionality. If the tag cloud widget is also a plugin … I’ll have to take a look, I admit it does look pretty kewl.

@pete in Midland: WP 2.6+ has integrated gravatar-showing capacity. They show the avatar that's associated with your email address.

Oh, and LG …. one plugin you might want to look at is Easy Gravatars … kinda neat allowing folks to use a single avatar “everywhere”

@pete in Midland: This sorry-ass theme is pre-widget, too. Plugin writers almost always include the direct-call tag, as does this one. But yeah, you gotta have tags. And posts.

nntGlenn … you have to remember that it was the weekend … and some of us that desire to live away from cities have crappy POTS interweb connections, so we seldom bother to try and read “our” blogs then.
Weddings CAN be a good thing … BUT … one can have too much of a good thing, yes? My wife has 3 sons … and their marriages are a constant topic of conversation … unfortunately mostly sad conversations. But one can hope for the best. I’ll cross my fingers for your girlchild.

LG, that tag cloud looks kewl … but I’d have to break down and rework a whole new theme for my blog … since mine is pre-widget. And I’m not really sure I’ll ever find the time to pound more posts into my schedule … so a cloud would be pretty wispy, LOL.

@jana: So go get ‘em! Click the COPY ME option in the countdown to get it. The cloud, you may be SOL. Right click on it to see the author’s page, I know it’s available for some other platform I’m but betting it ain’t blogspot.

WordPress is dead easy to set up on your own hosting account. Sure, it is not then free, but the flexibility is worth it.

@jana: Mister Liberty Girl and I married at a botanical garden, music provided by a violin and a cello, with dresses handmade by a teeny little oriental lady, the men in tuxes with the clan tartan cummerbunds and tams, gorgeous flowers, finger foods and bride’s/groom’s cakes under pavilions…all for right around 5K. It was, by all accounts, a gorgeous wedding.

So it can be done, just have to find the small craftsman type suppliers who provide a beautiful product for a fair price.
