MakeCloud Can Generate a Tag Cloud for Any Site

MakeCloud’s main service is creating tag clouds from RSS feeds. However, not every site has an RSS feed, so we are pleased to announce that MakeCloud can now generate a tag cloud based on nothing more than a website URL. To do this, we automatically generate an RSS feed from your site, then create a tag cloud from that. It is very simple to install the tag cloud on a site: enter the site’s url, the copy and paste the code we provide into your site’s HTML source.

New Site Design Finished

February 25th, 2008

We have been adding a lot of new features to MakeCloud recently, and the original layout for the front page wasn’t cutting as far as navigation. So now we have a new design. Yay!

Improved Compatibility with Non-English Languages

February 23rd, 2008

MakeCloud is now compatible with more languages, most notably, Spanish. If you installed a MakeCloud tag cloud in a language other than English, and it is showing funky looking question marks instead of accented letters, get the cloud code again and the problem will be fixed.
