My plugins featured in Web Designer Magazine

In issue 164 of Web Designer Magazine by Imagine publishing there is a feature article on WordPress plug-ins: Electrify Your Blog: The Top 20 WordPress Plug-ins for the Next-gen Blogger. I'm very happy to see that they listed two of my plugins in it.

The first plugin mentioned is my Better Tag Cloud, and the article emphasizes it's ease of use: To get creative with tag clouds the intervention of a plug-in is required and Better Tag Cloud provides some simple but undoubtedly effective solutions. [...] The settings page is simple and intuitive, users get to choose a title, decide on the smallest and largest font size, determine the number of displayed tags and how they should be ordered. Here is a demo:

The second plugin the magazine features is my Theme Switch plugin: Modifying a current theme to suit can be a stressful and painful experience. However, this plug-in allows users to preview a theme without the hassle of having to activate a theme and then preview in a different tab or window. They focus on the plugin's usage for theme development, although it can do much more than that, like displaying this switch cloud:
