Tag cloud
Nov 16 2008, 6:21 PM EST
It might just be that I haven't found it, but it seems that the tag cloud is only available after doing a search. I'd love to have it there on the front page so visitors/members see straight away what's there on the site. Often people don't know what to search for and having the tag cloud gives them ideas of what's around ... is that possible?
Do you find this valuable?

Thanks for the feedback/suggestion. Currently, the tag cloud is only available on the search results page. Once upon a time the tag cloud was on the left column, but we found that it was getting little use and this prompted us to try some other things. It's possible that it could come back in some form in the future though.

2. Tag cloud on front page

Thanks for that Jeremy ... interesting isn't it what people find useful or not so useful .... I'll wait with interest to see what happens. For me, the tag cloud on the left is one of the most important features, and is what I like about wikidot.com, so even though in many other ways it's not as good as Wetpaint, I'd have to use it in preference.

"There are a few tag cloud generators here which might be of interest:Thanks for that ... so I can use one of these generators to add the cloud to a Wetpaint home page? It's probably very simple but do I need to know anything about how to do that? Do you find this valuable? |

"I think it's mentioned in the FAQ for each of them isn't it? See http://www.tagcrowd.com/faq.html for example. Do you find this valuable? |

Just to add a footnote here. There's a tag cloud on the right at this location, so it's obviously possible:http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/search/everything/new%20page%20link?contains=new%20page%20link Do you find this valuable? |
