We will look at the working of WordPress Cumulus plugin under this recipe.
Tagging your content is easy and advisable. WordPress tags have at least two functions. First, they are a flexible navigational tool, allowing users to see similar posts from a variety of categories. Second, tags are a SEO tool to increase your keyword density. Tags, in their most simple form, are a list of links displayed for individual posts. The tag cloud is a more complex visual representation that outputs all your tags, with larger font sizes to denote tags that are used most frequently. WP-Cumulus is a plugin that creates a 3D rotating tag cloud as a Flash animation. Flash and HTML are used, so you get both visual appeal and SEO utility.
