I am writing this little tutorial that will help everyone build a very nice looking Tag Cloud for their blog without using any special wordpress plugins and complex methods
For those who are new to the Web 2.0 world
and need to know a little bit about what Tag Cloud really are? Here is a clue
Tag clouds are cool, informative, appealing representations about what's happening in your blog, or anywhere else
I shall be taking use of the ZoomCloud service which is a free Tag Cloud making service for websites and blogs and uses your Feed data to make a very nice looking Tag Cloud
To have a Tag Cloud for your site follow these steps:
- Sign up with ZoomCloud the free Tag Cloud service
- Follow the sign up details and fill in the required fields as instructed.
- The Tag Cloud configuration should take 1-2 minutes to accomplish.
- Sign in to your account and make a Tag cloud that matches the look of your blog/site accordingly. You can view the Live Demo here.
- Now simply Copy/Paste the javascript code of your Tag Cloud in your themes sidebar.php
and you should have a sleek using Tag Cloud in seconds.
And you are done
In seconds you have a dynamically updated Tag Cloud for your Blog
Do share with the blogging community

It looks cool mate. Will try this and see whether it fits in blog or not.
This is simply a boon for those using Blogger and Typepad
One thing that haunts me is I cant see anyhow that the code generated for the Tag Cloud is XHTML 1.0 Valid
That is the reason I have removed the Tag Cloud from my blog until further research

I have just read the tutorial you commented about Shashank
and it is for bloggers who use BlogSpot
We are mainly concerned about Wordpress here
Wordpress Rocks
MakeCloud (http://www.makecloud.com) is a competitor to ZoomClouds. It differs in that there is no signup required, and it automatically takes on the format of whatever page it is embdedded in, so overall it takes very little time to add a MakeCloud cloud to any page.
I have been looking for an alternative to ZoomClouds for a long time and MakeCloud really seems one cool Tag Cloud Generator too. I will give it a try.
