Version 1.6 of the Tag Dropdown Widget should be released by week’s end. This update revamps the function that can be used in non-widget themes to provide the ability to trim long tag names, display post counts, and exclude specific tags. All three features operate independently of the widget dialog, letting users implement the widget and direct-implementation function independently of each other.

Keep an eye on this feed and the plugin repository for the release of Tag Dropdown Widget v1.6.
