Have you tried Tagxedo? It’s a pretty nifty little app I spotted on @liendi11’s Amplog recently. While playing around with it I realized that it was more difficult to get the clouds to work in WordPress than one would think so when I found a way to get it to work I also created a video to explain it. The method that I demonstrate shows you how to create a tagxedo cloud that is usable in both pages, posts and even as a widget. The main thing that needs to be modified is the size of the iframe code that is provided in the tagxedo code snippet. Here is the video followed by a live example of the tag cloud.
In the live example of a Tagxedo Tag cloud below you’ll note that all of the links go to the default function in the setup – a Google search page. Ideally a blog specific search should be used. I’d imagine someone will get creative and port it to a WordPress plugin before too long but until now you can see the possibilities. (Note: If you click the tags it will take you off my site and to Google search, apologies I should have adapted it to my site search!)
Hey Joe, thank you for the youtube video.
I followed your instructions however the WordPress page that I created to insert the iframe code (in the HTML window) only shows a link to the Tagxedo I created. Is that what should happen? I thought the tag cloud would be visible on the page I put it on. And how do you go about linking the tags to pages on the blog?
I would be grateful for your input.
@thoughtsportal I need to update this post, I had issues embedding it in WordPress myself recently and had to resort to a screenshot image of the tag cloud instead of the live one. There are some guidance on iFrame code on this page: http://wordpress.org/tags/iframe I hope this helps.
How do you adapt it to your site search?
