Visual Blog Widgets – Word Clouds

Word clouds are very widely used these days and bring a fresh way to look at content. Some well known websites such as Wordle are offering a “do it yourself“ word cloud, made up of text that you provide them.

The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text, whereas the size of the word is defined by the amount of times it is referenced within the blog.

Once used as a shortcode user can also set the width of the display area as shown in here. Clicking on any word in the cloud takes the user to the page which represents that word- whether tag or category- where all related posts are listed for easy navigation.

Visual Blog Widgets – Bubble Graph

Once used as a shortcode, users can set the width of the display area as shown bellow. Clicking on any bubble takes the user to the page which represents this category or term.

Blog Widgets Frequently Asked Questions

Please check the user guide to learn more about this plugin.

How does the random post widget work?

Once inserted into your site, the random post widget will select posts randomly and display them to your site users. You can define which category to draw the random post from, or leave that field open to display posts from all blog categories. You can also define which elements you want to appear on the random post widget, for example- title, excerpt, featured image and read more tag. This will help expose the old blog content on a regular basis without having to make any special efforts.
