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.
