Extending the Habari Sidebar

Habari’s sidebar (in K2) is very minimal. The following plug-ins provide much needed site-navigation:

Fluffytag shows a fluffy cloud of tags.
monthly_archives shows archives grouped by month.

To display output from both plug-ins, make the following changes to sidebar.php:

Fluffytag’s appearance was slightly modified with the following changes:
