Really like this. Sensible – as Teofilm says: why isn’t it like this out of the box? Good one Mike.

oops. That was supposed to be:

.color-n { color: #123456; }

Glad to see that people like this. : )

I think in terms of strpos and substr so I naturally go there. Perhaps not the best method but for me it is the most readable.

@Lucian: To change the colors, just add some css:

.color-n { #123456; }

Do you think that this will fit into a blog made only in 2 or 3 colors ? How can we select the colors ?

Great concept,

Just a side-note though: Maybe it’s easier to use one or two preg_match/regex’es instead of the strpos and substr‘s.

Thanks again, I’ll use this for sure the next time I’m gonna make a tag-cloud. Especially the CSS-hook will come in handy. (/me’s thinking of a jQuery script to color them automaticly from green to red (hot -> not) for example.

Nice trick. I think that’s the way it should be in WP out of the box.
