I decided to make a tag cloud for WordPress today, but with a twist. Most of the tag clouds I see were category tag clouds, meaning they were based on the number of posts in a category. I don’t really have enough categories yet to do something like this though. Instead, this is more of a keyword or post tag cloud.

This kind of cloud tag makes a little more sense to me, at least from the perspective of a visitor. They can, in one quick view, tell exactly what you talk about in your blog posts. I also made it so visitors can click on any of the tags and it will use the built-in search engine to find posts with whatever word they clicked on.
