How is the tagcloud for my blog build ?

We extract tags from your blog posts in the following fashion :

• If you are tagging your posts using the build-in tagging/category system of your blogging platform, we extract these tags.
• If you are embedding Technorati tags in your posts, those tags are also extracted.
• We also extract tags using Yahoo's Term Extraction API, one of the APIs provided by Web Services by Yahoo!.

Each tag is then scored based on frequency, recency, and placement, and the top tags are put into your tagcloud.

The BlogsJam team has rolled out a new platform for Blog Widgets called Wowzio. Click here to create a tagcloud widget now.
