I don’t like a lot of Tag Clouds that are out there. I really don’t like the one that comes with WP. So I did a Google search for Better Tag Cloud WordPress and found Roy Tanck’s Flash-based Cumulus Tag Cloud–the one we’re now using in the GridCycle sidebar.

If you post something new, please try to remember to categorize your entry and add tags as you see appropriate. Tags are a mutable, organic part of blogging so you can use any words you choose. For example, you could file something under ‘Rad Racer on the NES’. Then that item would appear in the cloud. However, when there are multiple blog entries using the tag, it appears larger and more prominent in the cloud. This gives a reader an idea of what items are popular on the site.

So! If you want your blog entry to show up under a cloud item that is larger you should pick an existing tag such as ‘Retro’ if it’s a retro item.

Check out the nifty cloud. Bask in it’s bright and shiny glory.

P.S. Any admins that stumble on entries that have crappy tags *or none at all*, please feel free to update them.
