Each article is tagged with n subjects. The heatmap just ranks the most popular tags, and therefore gives an idea of what the blog content is about. It's a nicer tag cloud, basically. With colour and more typographical constraints. And the order *is* a little funky.

And also sorted in order by descending hit count? Awesome if so. Alastair Hi - this may seem obvious, but is the subject listing colour-coded by frequency of click-thrus?

Awesome if so.
