Haven’t heard of Sam’s Day Texas or Sam’s Family Fun Day before?

We’ll if you are in the DFW Area on Saturday, October 24, 2009, come out to Flagpole Hill at White Rock Lake between 10 am and 2 pm to have some fun with your family and friends while also benefiting boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.  The charity event and silent auction donations benefit Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy and help to fund research to End Duchennes.

This is the 5th Annual Sam’s Day in honor of Sam Killian, the son of one of my coworkers, who has Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy.

There will be all sorts of fun things for kids and families including bounce houses, inflatable slides, human hamster balls, a mobile gaming unit, face painters, food and more.

If you are having trouble, like I did (see the before image to the left), in getting the default tag cloud to stay within the column you’ve placed it in, then you should try a different Tag Cloud plugin.

I did a search and found a plugin called the Configurable Tag Cloud. I’m using version 4.1. Keith, the author of this widget, titled it “CTC” since Configurable Tag Cloud was too long.

As you can see to the right, now, my tag cloud stays within the column width of the right sidebar and looks a lot better. Thanks for creating the widget Keith!

I have yet to play around with all the other configuration options, although they look easy to use. Let me know how you’ve configured this CTC Plugin. What do you think of my sidebar now? Any other widgets and plugins you’d recommend?

So if you can’t tell from the image below, I haven’t quite figured out how to get the MyBlogLog to work correctly. If you know what could cause the following error, please leave me a comment below. Thanks!
