Tags/Categories are easier way of marking blog posts, so that Blog readers can easily read the articles based on a particular tag/category.They can also be used to provide a separate feed. WP Cumulus provides a dynamic tag cloud which respond’s to mouse movement. (Much better then static tag’s with wordpress themes).

Installation

  1. If using WordPress 2.8 , go to Plugins –> Add new -> Search with WP-cumulus and click install. Then activate the plugin.
  2. Make sure you’re running WordPress version 2.3 or later ( i Hope you on atleast 2.7)
  3. Download the zip file from here and extract the contents.
  4. Upload the “wp-cumulus” folder to your plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/)
  5. Activate the plugin through the ‘plugins’ page in WP.
  6. See “Options->WP Cumulus” to adjust things like display size, etc…

You can tweak the WP-Cumulus setting from “Settings” section of wordpress admin dashboard, though the default should be fine. To place the widget , go to widget section under Appearence and place the widget on the sidebar. You can find more information here
