My Blog Is
That right there is the only tag cloud that I have ever found interesting. The cool part is that you can generate those tag clouds and with a lot more jazz at this really great service called Wordle.
How I Did It
For those interested on how I got all the tags for the above cloud (with weight) I decided to grab them myself. Here were the simple 4 steps I took.
The SQL grabs all of the tags used on blog posts (so not categories) at least once. It also grabs the number of times the tag appears on a post. Using a simple ruby script I take the tags (all single words) and multiply them by the number of times they appear. So a “ruby 3″ turns into “ruby ruby ruby.” Once that multiplication has taken place I can just plop them into Wordle and make the magic happen!
