Customization

The code to the left can take these optional parameters:

1. css=default (or flickr, custom)
2. minsize=120 (or any integer)
3. maxsize=280 (or any integer)
4. limit=none (or any integer)
5. order=none (or frequency, alphabetical)
6. math=log (or linear)

The defaults in bold can be changed to customize your tag cloud. The first option can be set to:

* default: includes minimal styling, leaving most of it to your theme’s CSS (example)
* flickr: styles the cloud like Flickr’s tag clouds (because they are pretty)
* custom: no styles whatsoever will be applied and you’ll have to provide your own, either in custom CSS or your theme. (If you’re writing your own CSS, the cloud’s wrapper div id is tag_cloud and that of the unordered list of tags is tag_list.)

Preview

The next two parameters are the minimum and maximum font sizes (by percent) which are applied to your links. If you want all your tags to be the same size, just make these numbers the same … or you could go nuts.

And by popular demand, you can now specify the limit and order of your tags. For example, if you want to show your top 10 tags in descending order of frequency, add &limit=10&order=frequency to your code. You can also use &order=alphabetical.

The default tag size calculation is now logarithmic, rather than linear. This results in a more balanced cloud. To keep linear calculation, add &math=linear to your parameters.
