Nav Clouds as a wordpress plugin
Sean McGrath proposed the nav cloud as a new way to navigate on web sites. I created a wordpress plugin to implement the idea. As of November 14, 2008, you can see it in action on my sidebar, to the right. It begins with “about me” and ends with “write good papers”. The more often people visit a page, the larger the font size. You can see that my “write good papers” page is very popular.
