Hi friends,
As you you know every blog we post, falls under some category or the other. We try to categorize whatever we blog about. It makes our blog more organized and also helps searching. A Tag Cloud is yet another way of displaying your labels. The widget displays the current labels of your blog and occupies less space in case you have numerous labels.
The steps for adding the widget is really simple. Here we go :
Step1: Backup your template. Its necessary so that we can revert to the original in case the widget doesn't install properly. So, Download the current template to your PC.
Step2: Click the "Expand Widget Templates" so that the full template is displayed in the box below.
Step3: Now look for the desired place to install the widget, preferably in the right sidebar. Next comes the Copy-Paste job. Copy the code below and paste it at the desired position.
