Visual Blog Widgets – Dynamic Clouds
Dynamic clouds offer a way to get familiar and experience the terms / categories or tags related to your content. The visual tool takes parameters such as the maximum number of terms and the type of content to display (tags or categories)

Once used as a shortcode, width of the display area can be set as well. 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 – 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
Bubble graph is a way to represent diversity and the importance of one tag or a category present in your blog. In the case of the widget used in this plugin, the size of the bubble is defined by the number of times it appears in the blog.
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.

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.
