Simple Tag Bar for WordPress
So when I did the little redesign of my site earlier this week I added a right rail. With that I wanted to add some way to show tags that was not a tag cloud and wasn’t just a list of tags. I noticed on a co-worker’s blog (Kyle Slattery) that he had a really nice tag display. So I stole it, er better yet re-purposed it. The way Kyle did it reminded me of how Django makes its graphs, very clean and crisp. I really liked the idea and the presentation.
He doesn’t use WordPress so I had to build a quick script to accomplish this in WordPress. Easy enough actually. What it does it grab your top ten tags then do a little math to display them in a graph format. The more times a tag was used, the larger the graph. Again pretty simple.

Welcome to Phraction
Wow, it’s been a heck of a long time but things have calmed down (a bit) and I decided to bring my blog back to life. When I last left off I was using this space for a side-company that I used to do web development and design for. It was my company named ‘Phraction’ and we would do simple local sites, job boards, etc.
Since that time I began working harder at The Morning Call in Allentown, PA and I am now currently working at Viddler. My wife and I now have two kids, we recently moved and a loving yellow lab named Farley.
I intend to use this space for a few things I am passionate about: Life or my family, Music and Code. Pretty much in that order. I have a wide variety of other things I like to do such as run, play Mario Brothers, have a random or not so random Rum and Coke, but in large those are the most important things in my life.
So I quickly made this template (Work-in-Progress) and I am writing this post. Well that about sums up where I am coming from, so watch this space for some meaningful and well quite frankly some not so meaningful insight.
Regards and thanks for reading.
