I just read about TagCrowd on Michael Faris’ blog, and so I tried it on one of my posts (good grief? from last November). So easy. A snapshot of word emphasis.

Update May 8th: Help! I can’t figure out why the html from TagCrowd is not working when I post to my blog.
Update May 10th: Well, according to Mark at wordpress, “The tag cloud uses html and urls which we do not permit and it is automatically removed. This is for security, sorry.” That’s too frustrating. Makes me want to go back to blogger (where TagCrowds definitely work) or typepad (where they probably work). hmmmmm
Cultivated Pages 
for some reason the size doesn’t change for the words in the tagclowd in your blog (at least on my browser: Firefox in Mac OS 10).
Or did you use each word the same amount of times?
No, there’s some kind of problem. I can’t figure out why the sizes aren’t showing up. I pasted the html into my post, just as TagCrowd supplied it. It shows up correct in the wordpress composer or editor (or whatever it is called :-)), but once it’s published, I lose the sizes. Hmmmmm….
I’m not sure what the problem is. I use WordPress and it shows up just fine. My guess would be since the TagCrowd text is in css style, it has something to do with your css style page and the way it’s set up, but I don’t know for sure. Good Luck with it!
Thanks, Michael. That sounds like a helpful clue, at least. I’ll figure it out. :-)
