Today we will be making a tag cloud, these have been very popular lately in the whole Web 2.0 scene. An example of what we are going to make can be found by visiting any one of numerous sites out today. A tag cloud is broken down into 2 parts, the tags and the cloud. The tags are keywords given to certain elements of a site, usually a news item, article or tutorial.

The bigger the font size, the more this tag is used widely.
