With ZoomClouds you can easily create a tag cloud that represents the contents of a RSS feed. ZoomClouds first intakes the RSS feed you gave, fetchs the content, and generates the tag cloud using both Yahoo! Content Analysis API as well as a custom ZoomClouds content analysis tool.
ZoomClouds then provides with a necessary CSS code and Javascript code for you to place the tag cloud in your website or weblog. The following shows you an example that I got based on the RSS feed of this weblog. The tag cloud that you see at that moment is based only on the feed content at that time.
I simply extract and put the Javascript code provided to produce this tag cloud. The CSS style code provided for the appearance of the tag cloud is inserted in the CSS style sheet of this weblog’s theme. A tricky point to put a Javascript code in a WordPress post is to not to use multiple lines to type the code. That is, no line break starting from “script” to “/script”.

Hi, Dr. Choy. That is cool. How can I tag my blog entry? Pebble 2.0.0 supports tags cloud and I tagged my camera collection blog entries using the build-in Pebble function (you can see some very old cameras still taking very good photo). However, I want to the more general service, like zoomClouds so that I can tag my other static web pages too.
