tagCloud generator revamped

It’s been about time, so the new tagCloud generator went online today.

We’ve upgraded the creation process, added some stop words, included the possibility to save the clouds and retrieve it later on again. The last 10 clouds are shown as a link on the main page, which are clickable to get the cloud back again.

Of course we’ve cheered up the whole design, as it was only a beta version before, in which we did not put much effort into the design process. Guess this one’s a lot better now, brighter colors, bigger fonts. Options for your convenience have been added:

• Where to link the single tags
• Define your own css style sheet
• Define minimum amount of word occurence
• Select the stopword language ( german / english )
• Define the output size of the div

Of course you do not have to define all of that, if you are statisfied with the standard output, you can simply enter the domain which should be tagged and go.

If you feel there’s some options you’d like to have included, don’t wait and drop in a mail. We’re always open for suggestions.

Give it a try!

remove dotted rectangle from links

A simple but very effective way to remove this dotted rectangle when you click on a link is to simply add the CSS rule

outline: 0;

to the a tag in your CSS stylesheet. It removes the annoying dots around a link, especially when there’s a huge padding to the left ( as seen on many cool pages, whereas the link is then displayed 300px wide with that padding and the dotted border. )

This doesn’t work in Netscape 8.0 - but who the heck is using such a browser nowadays…
