Hey all. I wanted some blogger tweaks badly and found one. Tag clouds are amazing, eye catching cloud like formation of labels or tags.
The first use of tag clouds on a high-profile website was on the photo sharing site Flickr, created by Flickr co-founder and interaction designer Stewart Butterfield.
Tag clouds in websites rely on the frequency of words appearing. The algorithm excludes commonly occurring words like is, an, you, we etc. The improbable words or keywords are taken into account and accordingly a visual cloud is formed.
In Blogger, the labels act as keywords thus reducing the work of the algorithm(It's a big javascript). It just manipulates the labels. Checks how many posts were written under a particular topic/label. In fact you can change the javascript, but please save your old blog template before doing any changes.
Play with your blog appearance and make it more attractive and appealing for readers. You can check out top left side of my blog for the label cloud.
