  Hi,

  I’m running the vigilance theme for my blog http://cuntlove.wordpress.com but the tag cloud doesn’t seem to be working properly. Maybe I’ve got this wrong, but I was under the impression that the “tag cloud” widget as opposed to the “tag” widget was supposed to feature tags that moves around in random order in the cloud, but mine aren’t doing that. They are static, with the exception that the tags that are used more often get bigger.

  Am I understand this wrong or is there something I can do to change that?

  get clouds mean they are displayed in alphabetic order. The most popular tags are bigger than the others..

  Is there anyway I can get something like that on wordpress.com?

  No, that is either flash or javascript, or both perhaps and cannot be used at wordpress.COM. We cannot use plugins. Plugins are for self-hosted blogs only.

  OK, thanks.

  One last question, if I don’t want my tags to change size the more I use them, is there a way I can control how big they get?

  Sadly no there is not. There is with the category cloud widget, but not with the tag cloud widget. I really wish they would add that functionality to the tag cloud widget as well.

  I’m not sure on the etiquette, but is it ok if I ask another question that’s not the same as my original one or should I just stat another thread completely?

  Since, I’m not sure, I’m just going to go ahead and ask.

  If you look at my blog http://cuntlove.wordpress.com

  and see at the top right of the sidebar where you have the option to subscribe via a RSS or email…I use feedburner by the way…how can I make those links bigger? They Appear really small as is. I don’t know much about html, but can I change the size of that font is I modify the feed code and how would I go about that?

  You’re welcome and I agree it looks bad, which is why I never use it and quit using tags.

  For the RSS links being bigger, try putting them in a text widget with the size code included. Here’s one site showing the size html codes. http://www.echoecho.com/htmltext05.htm
