font embedding does the trick – somehow the kerning of the system font goes mad when scaled.

hi roy,

first of all, thank you very much for releasing the sources!
I’ve been trying to build a cloud similar to yours and in my first approach did all the code and calculations on my own with javascript.. yet was very unhappy with the performance – the rotation seemed to sluggish (visible jumps from one scale to the next). therefore I recreated the whole thing with flash. same problem.

as a third attempt, I ditched everything again and built a new flash cloud based on your code – as the wp-cumulus demos I’ve seen so far seem very smooth and as you point out in this post, it should be.

anyway: the problem has not gone away… I experience the same issue as before. do you have any idea what could cause the animation to degrade like this?

best regards,
remote

I recently integrated this with our blogging platform, ecpod.com.

You can see it in action here: http://raisingrockstar.ecpod.com (English) and in Chinese here: http://piggypeach.ecpod.com.

I like the original very much, but needed something with full UTF-8 support.

It does have some issues with IE, but as Roy said: they can be fixed.

I had to reduce the tag count from 65 to around 20-25, but apart from that it works really well. GREAT JOB Dawid!

Johnson, if you have no need for WordPress, this post will guide you though the process of using the tag cloud movie in other projects. No PHP needed.

Hi Jeffrey,
i am an asp.net programmer , and i definitely love your WP-Cumulus. BUT the questions are i am not familiar with WordPress or wp-cumulus and the worse is i didnt have the PHP+MySQL platform.
What i have to do is first building the PHP+MySQL platform second learning WordPress and wp-cumulus ? or there are a faster way that associated with asp.net , you know i am an asp.net programmer.
thanks a lot

Hi Christian. The javascript port doesn't even work under WP yet, afaik, but the Flash version can definitely be used in other contexts. See this post for more info.
