tag clouds

[Akshay]

I am trying to add a "tag cloud" to my site - one which is based solely on search terms people use to enter my website.After spending hours searching the internet for a good script I find that it is not easy to get a script because most of the scripts are based on simple things. Some of the scripts will say to enter my own search terms but I do not want that. I want a cloud that pulls the search terms from the people who visit my site.I did find a couple of scripts both of which are php based and one used mysql but both also appeared to have errors in them. I am just wondering if anyone has had any experience doing a tag cloud like this -one based on search terms only- and if there is a website that anyone might be familiar with regarding how to do this for me to check out.

See, that's why I like Wordpress... Granted, if one knows how to write these kinds of scripts, great! But even if one does, one does not necessarily have to go to so much trouble, when CMS systems like Wordpress exist.

Wordpress almost does it all, definitely cloud tags. I enjoy looking for new and useful plugins. People who write plugins are making some serious coin at it, too!

Sorry I couldn't help. Perhaps switching to a CMS system would be helpful.

CMS systems are very useful and Wordpress like cjjohn said has a great tag cloud system.

A tag cloud or word cloud (or weighted list in visual design) is a visual depiction of user-generated tags, or simply the word content of a site, typically used to describe the content of web sites. Tags are usually single words and are normally listed alphabetically, and the importance of a tag is shown with font size or color.

The tag clouds are usually hyperlinks that lead to a collection of items that are associated with a tag. Sometimes, further visual properties are manipulated, such as the font color, intensity, or weight.
