  the /uncategorized/ tag is placed on all the items I have just imported from other blogs, and so the cloud of category labels becomes overwhelmed by the huge number of no-tag postings; does it even make any sense to have “no category” be a valid category for this widget?

  So my question is this: can Uncategorized be excluded? I tried “Uncategorized” and “uncategorized” and it’s numerical ID 513 but in all three cases the label remains the dominant tag in the cloud, which is unfortunate because otherwise it would be a nice feature to have in the sidebar.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  a) You can limit the maximum font percentage.
  b) To exclude the category from showing, you enter its ID number in the Exclude field.
  c) But where did you find the number 513? The ID number of Uncategorized is 1.

  doh! now that you mention it, the 513 was probably the COUNT of uncategorized!! Ok, easy fix. thanks
