I have my WordPress TagCloud widget set to display the most popular tags in a random order. By so doing, I realized that there was a possibility that certain tags could be placed side-by-side in ironic, cute, or possibly even ribald combinations.
While checking out the tbbs front page a while ago, I noticed these [...]

On a whim, about a month or so ago, I installed the WP Wall plugin and widget. The widget sits in the right sidebar over there. From the plugin author’s site, WP Wall provides this:

I may get under 10 million hits a month here at this old blog; that doesn’t hinder me in upgrading to 2.6.1 WordPress. I just got finished; another flawless upgrade.
