## Description

This plugin creates a tag cloud that has, per tag, an indication of that tag’s size,
between brackets right after the tag and within the anchor text. This is for the
benefit of screenreaders, who will read this information aloud.
 This additional
text is hidden from screenreaders by an included styling class. I am working on 
an option to include your own.

I’d like to add some localization options, but I have insufficient PHP knowledge
to implement that. If you’d like to help out, please let me know at http://www.automaton.

## Installation

This plugin requires a sidebar-enabled theme, as it uses a sidebar widget.

 1. Upload `accessible-tagcloud.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Go to ‘design’ -> ‘widgets’ and add the widget to a sidebar.

## FAQ

  Why is the regular tag cloud not accessible to visually impaired users?

Because it uses only (CSS) font size to display the amount of posts linked to a 
tag. Screenreaders do not read out that information, and all impaired users therefore
see is a list of words, with no idea of the size of each tag.
