simple Tag Cloud component for JPublish

Wow I can't believe I couldn't post any news all this time. Busy, busy, busy :'( I'll do it today and I am doing it again for those of you using JPublish 2.x for web development.

Today we have tagClouds on the menu ;)

I believe everybody knows what a tagCloud is?! Wikipedia explains that pretty well.

I like a lot the simplicity and the implementation of the tagCloud in Pebble, a wonderful blog framework, written by Simon Brown and I wanted to have something like that for my own web applications I write with JPublish.

I wanted something similar, simple and efficient but designed as a reusable component and this is how I decided to write a new JPublish component called: JPTags, which will allow you to enable tagClouds for any JPublish application. Is a freeware piece of software, still in development but ready to serve ;)

There is also a readme included in the DEMO so you'll find out very quickly how to enable your own tagCloud in your application.

Cheers,
