Attention: This plugin is in an early stage. Please be aware, that it may contain bugs. Comments and constructive criticism welcome!
Description
This simple plugin is based on the plugin cbs_category_list from Christophe Beyls, but shows the category list as a weighted list, like a tag cloud.
Categories are displayed using their title for the selected section and sorted alphabetically by title. The font-size is calculated according to the number of associated articles in each category. If no article is found in the section for a category, this category is not shown. On my website you will find an example of how this plugin looks like.
