Hi, I have a couple of questions. Recently started my WP blog. 1. Is a tag cloud just wasted space or does it really help enough to keep it around? 2. Can someone take a look at my blog in my sig called datecow and let me know if they think I should align my postings left and have two columns on the right for links/sponsers etc... or is it effective the way it's laid out. Thanx in advance for any advice!
Tag clouds suck and are really waste of space. I know of no one that has used them. If they are searching for something there is a search form...
Yep..thats what I was thinking. I have seen some blogs using them, but really it's a huge space monger!
Yea, and I personally don't like 3 column themes. Too much clutter and wasted space. The content should be the thing that catches the eye not the huge sidebars.
tag cloud is very good to show some topics. Put the main topics in categories and the rest in tags. use good font size and good font color and enough space between each tag to make them appear good.
I don't like the tag clouds, but that is just my personal opinion. I don't have a problem with the 3 column templates and I use one myself!
I'd like to get a better template. Has anyone seen what happened to the premade templates that Unique Blog Designs used to sell? I really liked those, but at the time I didn't have a blog
I've created a free report about tagging in WordPress. Tag clouds work for some and not for others, but the most important thing is to use tags and make sure your tag pages are getting into Google. http://www.ninjablogsetup.com/blog/wordpress-tags-report/
