Just a brief post to let you all know that there are a few new features that have been added to the site. If you’re reading this in a feed reader, make sure you stop by the site to check out these great new features.
The first new feature is that you can now now see related posts at the end of every post. This will allow you to find other related topics on the site.
The second feature I’m quite excited about — there’s now a tag cloud on the left sidebar that will allow you see what all of the content on the site is tagged with. This way, you can browse information on the site in a completely new way.
Tag clouds provide a great way to not only browse what’s on the site, but they also allow you to see what types of things I usually talk about (and it also allows me to make sure I’m not always talking about the same thing!).
I’ve currently got the 20 most current posts tagged, and I’m hoping to have all posts on the site tagged by the end of the week. If anyone is interested in how to see set up their own tag cloud or related posts in Wordpress, just leave a comment and I can explain how I did it.

Love the tag cloud! Very useful for showing the ‘weight’ of your content. Did you use the Wordpress tag widget or a different plug-in?

Thanks Angela! I’m glad you find it useful. I actually used Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin, which actually took me a few days to figure out (I think I just had a lot of specific issues that other sites wouldn’t have had).
I’ve got about 3/4 of the content tagged at this point, and am still working to have 100% of it done by the end of the week.

Another great feature Lucas, have been experimenting with a number of the same kind of plugins on my site.
Thanks for the post!
