How to Add a Tag Cloud to Your Blog or Site

1. If you have a blog, you have an RSS feed. To find the URL of your RSS feed, go to your blog, then click on the RSS button in the address bar of your browser (if you are using Safari, Firefox, or Internet Explorer 7 or later). Copy the Feed URL from the browser address bar.
   
   Go to www.MakeCloud.com, and enter your RSS feed URL into the field, then click the 'Get Tag Cloud Code' button.
   
   
2. You will be given some code to embed the tag cloud in your site. Copy this code, and paste it into the source HTML for your site, where you want the tag cloud to appear.
   
   
3. If you have a site which does not have an RSS feed, we can make a tag cloud for you several other ways:
   • Make a tag cloud from any site (just enter the site's URL)
   • Make a tag cloud from a search phrase
   • Make a tag cloud that shows who links to your site
   • Make a tag cloud from any text
   • Use FeedMarklet.com to quickly make an RSS feed from any site. It is integrated with MakeCloud, so it will instantly create the tag cloud for you.

Notes and Tips

• Safari lists feed URLs beginning with feed://, rather than http://. If you have an RSS feed URL starting with feed://, change it to http:// before clicking 'Get Tag Cloud Code'.
  
  
• The number of tags in your cloud is (usually) the same as the number of news items in the RSS feed you give it.
  
  
• If you want to make the cloud bigger, put <font size='5'> before the cloud code, and </font> after it. You can achieve more complicated changes to the cloud's appearance by putting the code inside of a <span> or <div> tag, and specifying a style CSS attribute.
