And the yelling hurts my feelings. Therefore, hence, and forthwith, I changed the code in the original Chip's keywords-tagcloud.php file so I can use pretty CSS. I replaced: <code><font size="%count%" class="cosmos keyword%count%"><a href="%fulltaglink%">%keyword%</a></font></code> with: <code><a class="keyword%count% "href="%fulltaglink%">%keyword%</a></code> Then I styled my main CSS stylesheet like so: a.keyword3, a.keyword4, a.keyword5, a.keyword6, a.keyword7 {font-size: 11pt;} a.keyword5, a.keyword6, a.keyword7, a.keyword8, a.keyword9 {font-size: 12pt;} a.keyword10, a.keyword11, a.keyword12, a.keyword13, a.keyword14 {font-size: 13pt;} a.keyword15, a.keyword16, a.keyword17, a.keyword18, a.keyword19 {font-size: 13pt; font-weight: bold;} ... etcetera, etcetera... Styling Update

I don’t use the font tag anymore since everyone yells “DEPRECIATED” at me. And the yelling hurts my feelings. Therefore, hence, and forthwith, I changed the code in the original Chip’s keywords-tagcloud.php file so I can use pretty CSS.

I replaced:
<font size="%count%" class="cosmos keyword%count%"><a href="%fulltaglink%">%keyword%</a></font>

with:
<a class="keyword%count% "href="%fulltaglink%">%keyword%</a>

Then I styled my main CSS stylesheet like so:
a.keyword3, a.keyword4, a.keyword5, a.keyword6, a.keyword7
{font-size: 11pt;}
a.keyword5, a.keyword6, a.keyword7, a.keyword8, a.keyword9
{font-size: 12pt;}
a.keyword10, a.keyword11, a.keyword12, a.keyword13, a.keyword14
{font-size: 13pt;}
a.keyword15, a.keyword16, a.keyword17, a.keyword18, a.keyword19
{font-size: 13pt;
font-weight: bold;}
… etcetera, etcetera…

You can still use CSS styling even if the font tag is left in. The CSS font size should override the font size specification. Hey Jenn,

It's totally awesome that you left a comment on my blog! You're right about the font tag working fine by styling with the CSS. In fact, the widget worked great right out of the box! But I read somewhere that the font element is not supported in XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD. I can't back this up on paper though. I should have said pretty XHTML instead of pretty CSS. :) Hey Sterling Camden! It’s totally awesome that you left a comment on my blog!

I'll have to look into upgrading my widget without impacting existing users. WordPress pingback led me to your post. I'm honored that you think my commenting here is "awesome". I wonder what would you think if I subscribed to your blog and added you to my blogroll in the sidebar <a href="http://www.chipsquips.com/" rel="nofollow">here</a>? You are correct, Jenn. I’ll have to look into upgrading my widget without impacting existing users.

Oh no! I'm still using the strike tag. I'll have to strike that from my available tags... ha ha - good one Jenn. Subscribing to <em>my</em> blog? Adding me to your blogroll? Holy cannoli!
