I’ve been working on this one for a while since it’s a more involved plugin, but I think it’s simple enough for people to understand how to use it.

Iconified Taxonomies takes the standard taxonomies provided by the WordPress core — categories and tags — and adds icons to them. When a post is displayed, instead of having a basic list of categories and tags for the post, why not have icons that make each tag or category stand out?

A few things are required to complete the installation of Iconified Taxonomies. For starters, you must be comfortable editing your theme. If you don’t feel comfortable editing your theme, then you should avoid this plugin. The edits are not hard, as it only involves adding one line of code for categories and a second line for tags, but if you are not comfortable editing your theme, please do not download this plugin. Next, you must be familiar with uploading files to your WordPress installation folder. It doesn’t matter if it is via FTP or a web interface, but there is no built-in interface (yet) for uploading.

Full instructions are provided on the official Iconified Taxonomies page here, and a live demonstration is available anywhere on this site! Just look at any post and the categories will have icons associated with them. I’m still working on uploading all of my icons for tags, but the result will be the same as the categories.
