"Blogumus" is an Flash based tag cloud widget which uses scripts converted from Roy Tanck's WP Cumulus plugin for Wordpress. I fell in love with Roy's original Cumulus plugin when I saw it, and simply had to learn how to convert this for use in Blogger powered blogs. The result is the widget you can see in action at the top of this post. Hover your mouse over the Flash object to see the animation begin.
In this post, I'll explain how you can add Blogumus to your own Blogger layout with ease!
Update: Improved Widget Code
I have updated the code required to run this widget to activate links in the tag cloud Flash movie. If you have already installed Blogumus, please replace your widget code with the new updated code, or reference the additional lines to modify your existing installation.
How it works
This widget uses a combination of JavaScript and Flash animation to parse and display your blog labels. Once installed in your template, it should work "out of the box" without any additional tweaking required, though of course you may prefer to change the variables for color, background and size if appropriate :)You should also be able to move the Label Cloud widget through the Page Elements page of your dashboard if you prefer display in a different layout location.
To see Blogumus in action, both Flash and Javascript must be installed and enabled for your internet browser. However, it does degrade relatively gracefully, and label links will still be clickable (though not animated) for those who do not use JavaScript of Flash (including search engine spiders).
How to install Blogumus in your Blogger layout
Installing Blogumus in your Blogger layout is surprisingly simple! You should only need to copy and paste a section of code to your Blogger template, though any tweaks for the style of display will require some manual editing.
Here are the steps required to install Blogumus in your Blogger layout:
Go to Layout>Edit HTML in your Blogger dashboard, and search for the following line (or similar):
<b:section class='sidebar' id='sidebar' preferred='yes'>Immediatly after this line, paste the following section of code:
<b:widget id='Label99' locked='false' title='Labels' type='Label'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:title'>
<h2><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<script src='http://halotemplates.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-cumulus-example/swfobject.js' type='text/javascript'/>
<div id='flashcontent'>Blogumulus by <a href='http://www.roytanck.com/'>Roy Tanck</a> and <a href='http://www.bloggerbuster.com'>Amanda Fazani</a></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var so = new SWFObject("http://halotemplates.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-cumulus-example/tagcloud.swf", "tagcloud", "240", "300", "7", "#ffffff");
// uncomment next line to enable transparency
//so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so.addVariable("tcolor", "0x333333");
so.addVariable("mode", "tags");
so.addVariable("distr", "true");
so.addVariable("tspeed", "100");
so.addVariable("tagcloud", "<tags><b:loop values='data:labels' var='label'><a expr:href='data:label.url' style='12'><data:label.name/></a></b:loop></tags>");
so.addParam("allowScriptAccess", "always");
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>
<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</div>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>
Then preview your template. If installed correctly, you should see the tag cloud appear in your sidebar. Then you are free to save your template, edit the colors and dimensions as required, or move it to a different location.
That's all!
Customizing Blogumus
In this default installation, Blogumus includes the following preset variables:- Width is set to 240px
- Height is set to 300px;
- Background color is white
- Test color is grey
- Font size is "12"
Editing width and height
The variables for width and height are found in this line of the script:
var so = new SWFObject("http://halotemplates.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-cumulus-example/tagcloud.swf", "tagcloud", "240", "300", "7", "#ffffff");
The width (currently 240) is highlighted in red, while the height (300px default) is highlighted in blue. These numerical values specify the width and height in pixels, so you can alter these of you prefer.
Editing background color
You can change the background color from white to any other color by altering the hex value in the same line:
var so = new SWFObject("http://halotemplates.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-cumulus-example/tagcloud.swf", "tagcloud", "240", "300", "7", "#ffffff");
For example, if you prefer a bright red background, you may replace #ffffff with #ff0000. Take a look at this page for a list of commonly used hex color codes.
Alter the color of text
By default, the text is set to display as dark grey ( hex value #333333). You can alter this variable in the following line:
so.addVariable("tcolor", "0x333333");
Be aware that "tcolor" is a Flash variable and doesn't include the usual hash symbol of hex color codes. Be sure to only replace the numbers!
Adjust the font size
The maximum font size of tags is specified in this line:
so.addVariable("tagcloud", "<tags><b:loop values='data:labels' var='label'><a expr:href='data:label.url' style='12'><data:label.name/></a></b:loop></tags>");
You can alter this to ensure tags are displayed in a bigger or smaller font if you prefer by changing "12" to a larger or smaller number.
While making any of these changes, you should be able to preview your widget and be certain that your new choice of color, dimensions and background are suitable for your needs.
Credits, support and requirements
Blogumus is based on the original WP Cumulus plugin by Roy Tanck, and was converted for use with Blogger layouts by myself.Please leave the credit links in the widget code intact. These will not be seen by the majority of your blog readers (as they will only display if JavaScript and Flash is not activated) but leaving these links intact is a great way of passing some link love on to Roy for all his hard work, and to inform other Blogger users that they can find the widget codes on this site.
Support/Issues
If you have any problems installing or using this widget, please leave your comments below or direct these to the Blogger Buster forums as Roy will be unable to provide support for installation in Blogger blogs!Requirements
For Blogumus to display properly in your template, you will need to have Flash Player 7 or higher. You can download the latest Flash Player plugin for your browser from Adobe.I'm not sure that this installation will support special characters as tags (only Latin characters supported at present). If you do experiecce issues with labels displaying incorrectly, please let me know. I'll try to add more support, but have very little experience using Flash!

Hey amanda,
it's not working for me though.... i just get a white blank widget.
voiceofteenagers.blogspot.com
Please contact me on my site. Please and thank you.
Wondering why my blogumus label suddenly disappeared since a week a ago. Tried to reinstall it, but still doesn't work. Any ideas?
i looked around this post, and the one with the alternative version. Here is my solution.
1.if your tag cloud shows a taf less, try to find this: so[dot]addVariable("distr", "true" and change the "true" with a "false"
2. If your tag cloud shows a blank box even though you tried the alternate version, it's probably because you do not have this line:
b:section class='sidebar'.... (the first one), but a altered one. so change it with the appropriate one ( the one you can see at the top of this article), this is what i did. I have no knowledge of java script, but i tried messing around with the code so i can make it work. Hope i explained it okay ? Sry if you can't understand me: |
Simply amazing.
Worked like a charm :D
Hi Amanda... :)
I'm not sure whether this thread is still alive, but i 'll post my query anyways...
I added the code as described by you... but all I get is a widget in the sidebar with white background... HELP!!! :(
Is this gadget chooses only English words or no? My blog is in Russian language. So, in cloud I see only English tags. How can I improve this gadget?
Amanda great widget! Looking forward for supporting POLISH language. Thanks.
AWESOME! i'm a beginner-blogger. i searched google and found this wonderful site! and this post rocks! BIG FAN! great work
Hi amanda! Thanks so much for this. i've been searching for this, but i don't know what it is called. i've successfully installed it on my blog. your instructions are easy to follow.
Amand grat widget! Looking forward for supporting POLISH language
well, a great post indeed, i have found what i need all this time. this widget works really great in my blog, keep up the good work amanda! can't wait to read your next post =)
good post amanda, works great with my blog though..thanks for your help. =)
Hey Amanda!
I used to use this code on my blog and it works (eventhough there's some missing words). But after I changed the template, and try to put the same code again, all I get is blank..What's wrong with it?
I found this error
"The widget with id Label99 is not within a section (actual parent element is: div.) Every widget should be in a section."
How I fix this?
Impressive stuff.....
really good
Pretty cool! Thanks!
Amanda, i love your widget, but whenever I click on a link in the cloud, the cloud goes blank.
http://holy-spirit-driven.blogspot.com/
any help would be appreciated
thanks for the great tips. I will be using these tips on my blog.

Hi, I just saw this on someone else's site and loved it, then decided to find a version for my own blog. I can't make it work, unfortunately, and am hampered by my own pathetic HTML skills. Any suggestions to help would be greatly appreciated!
Hello Amanda,
Thanks for all this amazing job you are doing!
This blog is a bible for all of us
I just instaled this widget on one of my blogs and works perfectly.
But I have another blog with a lot a tags on it and I want to ask you if you know a way to choose or limit the number of tags displayed? maybe putting a link with only the tags that I want to use. Any idea?
Wainting for your answer, sincerly
Fred Fraces
I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. Thanks Roy and Amanda for this great plug-in.

Love it! Thank you so much! Keep up the good work!
Really Good work. Thanks
Amanda: your scripts works superb for me... only I wish it could loop on forever, because I see that it spins a number of times and then it stops, but it's a minor fault... your work was astonishing, i never thought that it could be done in blogger. keep up the good work!
Dear Amanda,
Thanks for hooking this up, but like so many people who have commented I can't get this to work on my blog.
Since I maintain/contribute to three blogs I experimented to see which one it worked with and which one it didn't. The code and cloud works fine on my one plain jane blog that has no modifications to the base template minima.
The code you have here doesn't work with the other blogs where I've added some canned javascript to make my posts expandable. I tried taking that javascript and removing all other modifications I've made to the template before adding your code, but nothing seems to work.
Is my only option to go all the way back to the base template, add your code, get it to work, and the add the other modifications back?
Thanks for any and all assistance!!!
Best,
HR
this is soooo sick wow...thank you so much for this!!!
I thought I posted a comment last night but it seems to have disappeared.
I can't seem to make this thing work. I have a couple of different blogs that I contribute to/maintain and I can get it to work on one but not the other. Originally I thought the problem was with some changes I had made to the template, but even once I reverted back to the default the animated tag cloud still won't work on one of them. Got any suggestions Amanda?
Also, thanks for posting this, it's mad cool!!
Best,
HR
Looks great! Thanks for writing the code. Used it on http://3wbps.blogspot.com/
Fantastic work! It looks great and was easy to install. Only complain: links with UTF-8 characters don't work.
I installed it.It was working like a charm utill my labels number increased beyond 6.Its showing 6..randomly 6 labels....why is this happening??
Any1 know how top get this to work for a custom blog
great work
keep it up
Works great, just added it to my website
http://www.inventorwizard.be/hotnews.html
Only had one remark what could help others.
I had labels named: Tips 'n Tricks and Macro's.
I had to change them all because the code doesn't except the " ' " in labels.
So changing the names to Tips n tricks and Macro solved it, all of a sudden the cloud appeart and looks so great, thx girl!!!
Amazing widget. Unfortunately I can't use it because it doesn't support utf-8.
amazing.....worked on mine...many thanks!!!
amanada.. works on my blog..awesome!!
Parabéns pelo trabalho de conversão para o blogspot. Ficou muito bom
Obrigado!
:)Amanda, this is great thanks for the hard work...
thanks to Roy...

Is there any way to add a black border around the entire box? It would really go with the look of everything I have going.
Hi Amanda,
I'm also having the blank box problem.

I'd love to use the widget -- any suggestions
I'm having the blank box problem as well. Let me know if you have any suggestions; I'd love to be able to include blogumus on my blog.

Thanks Deezy - Your post cracked it for me. Too many tags. That should be in the above text. I have 18 at the moment and it seems to be working ok
Thanks again
Hello Dear,
I see that above someone asked already, but really can you make it to work as well with cyrillic fonts. You will make lot of Bulgarians happy! ;D
Is's support UTF-8 ?
Hello Amanda, your page is just amazing! You are doing one of the greatest works around the net. I would like to tell you about all the Bulgarians who also visit it. Is it possible to try and make this app work with the cyrillic alphabet tags. I am sure you will make a lot of your Bulgarian fans happy :D. Thanks Regards
Kudos to the site, Amanda. =)
Unfortunately, after following the instructions as you have provided, the coding does not work on my Blogger page at all. When I insert the code as you have presented, no changes appear on my blog. This would be a most useful tool, wish I could get it to run.
This is wonderful!!! Thanks for sharing. I found this, which might help with posting in Blogger:

Hi ! Amanda First Of all Thanx for such a nice widget. Now i need a little help from u. I want to use this tag cloud in a multi-tabbed widget. Can u plz tell me how it can be done.
This is my blog.
www.trickstour.co.cc
The the multi-tabbed widget that i want to use for the tag cloud is on the right side with the tabs=> "Recent Posts","Popular", "Cloud".
Wating for your reply.
Thanx in advance.
Yes, my costume made blog template will not allow this to work. Do you have any idea about this problem?
I got it, the problem starts with tags or labels that contain a " ' " character o.O
Oh dear! Does it work out with unicode Label? So why I can do it
It works and its great but can we tweak it to shaow random posts instead of labels
Thanx a Lot!!!
I was searching for this for a long time but could not get it done so easily!
My cloud disappeared. There were no errors with the code, can someone help get it back.
no meu blog não funcionou
Hello as you would to put the text of various colors blogumus? like the original WP-Cumulus!
thanks
Hi Amanda.
I need help with setting up a Blogumus on my blog. I've been reading thru the comments and like the rest, I am still getting a blank white box. The only thing I managed to do is I changed the background to transparent, so now I have a blank black box, which appears to be nothing at all on my black background.
I'm not sure if it's an issue, but I have 45 labels. I'm afraid it's too many if the cloud is to fit in the sidebar, but I totally have no idea as well. And I have a few other live plugins (like my last.fm radio) which I'm afraid might be causing issues too. I really like this concept, but I just can't make it to wor. Hope you can help me.

dude, it cannot display Chinese characters.. how am i going to solve it?
I Tried edit my label according with your tutorial, But I was failed to display all of my label on cumulus tag cloud animation. Help Amanda :-( thanks before

Hey, I installed this a few weeks back with no problems what so ever. Now all of the sudden it will not display any more, and I have not messed with my html. Do you know how I can get it back?
Hi..i recently added you to my links lists
Just link back to me at http://totalcompetition.blogspot.com/
Two things.
a) What is the "7" in the params?
b) How can I require a minimum label amount before it is included in the cloud? Like filter any label with less than 3 entries.

Well I had this up and it just disappeared one day.
I have tried to put it back in and now when I do, all I get is a blank widget. I can see where the cloud is suppose to be, but there is no tag cloud there. Any one know what I should do.
Hey Amanda,
Not just me but others have this question:
"The widget with id Label99 is not within a section (actual parent element is: div.) Every widget should be in a section."
Is there a solution?
thanks amanda...it works
but i can't seem to change the background color to transparent...
is it possible to change it to transparent?

"I tried installing as per instruction but it only shows an empty space where the widget should be. I can right click it and change settings for Adobe Flash so it means that it recognizes the code but it has problems displaying it. Please take note that i have an existing custom tag cloud. Please help!"
Hi!, in my case, the widget works perfectly all the time in Firefox and Opera it works but in Internet Explorer when you click a link, then the widget disappears. I´ve tried to refresh cache too. My version of the flash is 10 and the latest Internet Explorer. What may be due, "Are you going to someone else," Does this solution?.
Thanks!
P.D: Excuse my bad English...
Hi, Amanda. Terrificly cool job!
The thing is I don't use labels (all my posts are for different things), but I would LOVE to have this working for my bloglist.
I tried to replace the word "labels" with "bloglist" and blog.url (or something like that), but nothing happens (it is obvious I know nothing about html).
¿Could you help me with this?
My blog is blogudo.blogspot.com and my e-mail is queblogudo@hotmail.com
Thanks a lot and congrats once again for your terrific job.
Cheers,
Juan.
P.D.: your blog in Safari (Mac) has some issues (when you open the comments for a post, it goes all blank, except for the footer).
Amanda i am so happy to see this kind of widget. But i attended with a problem(not exactly a problem). I am trying my blog in different font i.e. nepali. I have labels in nepali and english i.e. both languages but my lables are showing only english labels. http://entnepal.blogspot.com
last night it was working suddenly it stopped working
good post. But, how do you make this enable with the old blogger template?
I installed it on my blog...it worked fine for awhile, but now it only shows a blank box. I use firefox, have adobe flash 10, only changed the widget name on the Page Elements page (no change in HTML other than the imensions when I first installed it)....can you figure this out?

Hi, just like Acis above, it doesn't bring up my Greek language labels. If a label is using standard latin characters, it gets included. Otherwise it doesn't show up.
Great work, though!
Hi Amanda,
I love this tag cloud - my blog is fairly new and so every label just had (1) after it - a bit lame. This is much nicer. How do I give you credit for that on my site?
how can i change it's speed? thanks
Thanks.. I manage to make this within second.. credit to you..
It works and easy to make. Thanks.
I install this script in my blog. it is properly work. thank you

hello 1st of all thank you for haring this converted Tag cloud with us I love it and REALLY wanted it on my Bloogger Blog :)
Roy made an upgrade so an limit the number of tags displayed then it shows only the most used tags
it was added in version 1.1
adds the ability to pass parameters to the WordPress wp_tag_clound function.
Is it possible to add that to your Blogger version as well? otherwise my tag cloud is a "little crowded"
Thank you very much in advance
Greetings SJ
Thank you! Worked like a charm!
Hello Amanda,
First let me say I love your site; your love for blogging and instructing are demonstrated in the way you respond to comments and questions; that mean a lot to newbie bloggers like me. I love the cloud and I've listed you under my site credits for the cloud and the breadcrumb trail. The cloud works wonderful for me; However, visitors have told me that the animation stops after a few minutes. my site address is www.touchinglivespositively.com
And if I may ask another question unrelated to the cloud... I am having the most difficult time tyring to configure an anchor link... I found from your site a link to the blog doctors toc w/preview. The anchor works good in my browser only, it's probably something simple but I've spent countless hours trying to figure this out... the challenge is I'm using a 3rd party template and I'm trying to create the hyperlink within that structure. I know this may be a huge request but can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
Fantastisk Amanda. Thank you so much. I ♥ Blogumus.
hi Amanda,
great widget, old problem, blank cloud? it is positioned in the right sidebar labelled as MAF Tag Cloud
Hi Amanda!
And thanks for a great port.
Is there any chance the widget will be updated to support international characters?
Any tags I have with the Swedish å ä ö does not work (they get URL-translated to %E5, %E4, %F6 wich Blogger doesn't seem to like).

Hi Amanda !
Thx for your work.
I need help with Blogumus on my blog.
When I click on most of the labels in the cloud, the system does not find the corresponding posts (I have a blank page with a message telling me : "no posts under this label").
I've been reading thru the comments and like the rest, I am still getting a blank white box. The only thing I managed to do is I changed the background to transparent, so now I have a blank black box, which appears to be nothing at all on my black background.
I really like blogumus, but I just can't make it work well. And I tried to return to the original version of my blog, but I can't find the code that you gave us anymore !!
Could you please help me ?
Thx again,

awesome effect!
thank you very much
I discovered what the problem was with the labels. I don't know why nobody else discovered this one. I assumed what it was and came out right. It has to do with certain characters in your labels.
Go through your labels and remove anything that is not a letter or number, such as single quotes, double quotes, colons, semi-colons, etc.
It wasn't the number of labels, but the extra characters. That being said, I'm deleting all of my labels and starting over with more meaningful labels.
This worked for me but had to delete it because similar to coco, there were too any labels. Is there a way of setting a minimum of posts before they appear in the cloud?
Thank you Amanda for the great work
I put everything where you guys said to, but it didn.t show up. What is wrong?

I installed on my new blog, and it worked at first. Then I added more tags to my posts, and now I have empty space. ): Any suggestions?
Amanda, I'm having the blank space issues as well. It worked for a while then as I kept adding labels it stopped. Could this be the problem? Too many labels? Please respond with a solution.

Your site is very cool Amanda! I found out about blogumus from someone else's site. But he didnt give credit to you. I apply it in my blog, it works fine except one thing, the width didnt fit in. So I found the link to Roy Tanck in the code and decided to went back to the source, luckily from there he leads me to this wonderful site of yours.
Now I got Blogumus fit in perfectly in my blog! Thanks to u!!
Hi, it seems like I am the only one dumb enough to install what you smartly taught.
I added it to my BLOG, but the only thing I see is: "Blogumulus by Roy Tanck and Amanda Fazani"
Take a look if you want, pls:
