[wp-forums] tag cloud

[Les Bessant]

I still think moving the damn thing out of the way would be a good idea. I
see new posters still not finding how to make a new post. If it has to be
there, then I like your suggestion...

On my laptop with a screen res of 1024x768, using FireFox 1.5, I have to
click in the scrollbar three times before I see the "Forums" heading. It's
not really surprising that people just joining don't know how to use the
forums...

Another small improvement, which could be done with a bit of CSS, would be
to move the "Views" links into a single line. Anything to reduce the
scrolling required to find anything actually useful.....

I don't like the tag cloud much.  It wastes a lot of space above the
fold.  I accept that it's here to stay.

Can we at least make the tag cloud combine singular and plural versions
of the same word into a single tag display?

Right now, we have the following tags:
category
categories
comment
comments
link
links
page
pages
permalink
permalinks
theme
themes

That's half a dozen conceptually duplicated tags.  If we could
consolidate by word stem in some way, we could either show a more
smaller precise tag cloud, or include a couple of other terms in the
cloud that are being pushed out currently.

Since we're dealing with a fairly limited lexicon for WordPress, I think
we could safely experiment with combining these plurals with their
singulars.
