Thanks. As for the tag cloud, while I like it (conceptually), in practice, I suspect that you are correct. The main tags at the top will dominate for quite a while, so I'm not sure they really help people “discover” new things. At a minimum, I should definitely chop it from the “top 100″ to the top 20-30 (and I likely will do that, at a minimum…

As for Popularity Contest, I can easily do that, as I have the Popularity plugin. The part that makes me hesitate is that I also wonder whether the most popular posts are necessarily the ones that require any more “advertisement” for them.

Thanks Jamie!

I like the new theme updates — the white background for the main text is much easier to read.

Personally — I'd kill the tag cloud and use something like Popularity Contest to put lists of posts in that space.
