## Description

This plugin allows you to add a tag/category cloud with count widget to your sidebar
or use a shortcode to show a category/tag cloud with count in post & page. You can
select color combination of cloud, the minimum number of posts in a category to 
show and which categories to include or exclude.

#### Features

 * Use as a widget or shortcode
 * Configurable color combination of your cloud display
 * Order by number of posts in each category or alphabetically
 * Specify the minimum number of posts that a category has to have before it shows
 * Specify categories to include or exclude, or use them all

#### Usage

**Shortcode**
 Optionally enter [tagmagic] in a page or post to show the category
cloud. See the FAQ for examples.

name.

**Show by**
 Either the category with the most posts first or the category with 
the fewest posts first if using Order by: count, or A-Z or Z-A if Order by: name.

**Minimum number of posts**
 Categories where the total number of posts is less 
than this number will not be shown. Set to 1 to hide empty categories.

**Comma separated category IDs**
 If you only want to include specific categories,
enter their IDs in a list. If you want to exclude a category, enter its ID as a 
negative number. Leave blank for all categories.

 * Example: 1,10,20
    This will create a category cloud with only categories 1,10,20
   in it.
