The Category Cloud Widget is a widget that displays your categories as a tag cloud in your sidebar.

1. Firstly, make sure you have the Widget plugin available at http://automattic.com/code/widgets/
2. Copy `category-cloud.php` to your plugins folder, `/wp-content/plugins/widgets/`
3. Click the 'Activate' link for Category Cloud Widget on your Plugins page (in the WordPress admin interface)
4. Go to Themes->Sidebar Widgets and drag and drop the widget to wherever you want to show it.
5. Use the configuration menu to customise the widget.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this work with the Sidebar Modules (SBM) plugin? =

Yes, it should work fine with the latest version of [SBM](http://nybblelabs.org.uk/projects/sidebar-modules/).
Just remember that you will need to activate the widget via the Plugins panel.

= Can I modify the permalinks of the category URLs? =

No you can't. That is beyond the scope of this plugin.

== Examples ==

== Special Thanks ==

Thank you to Matt Kingston, as this widget was based on his [Weighted Categories](http://www.hitormiss.org/projects/weighted-categories/) plugin.
Thanks to [Peter Hasperhoven](http://www.minmen.nl/) for introducing the 'minimum number of posts' option.
