Posted by Lasantha Bandara File Under : background, gadget, widget 1 Comment

1.Log in to your dashboard--> layout- -> Edit HTML

2.Scroll down to where you see this:

]]></b:skin>

3.Now copy below code and paste it before  ]]></b:skin>  tag.

/* Label Cloud Styles
----------------------------------------------- */
#labelCloud {text-align:center;font-family:arial,sans-serif;}
#labelCloud .label-cloud li{display:inline;background-image:none !important;padding:0 5px;margin:0;vertical-align:baseline !important;border:0 !important;}
#labelCloud ul{list-style-type:none;margin:0 auto;padding:0;}
#labelCloud a img{border:0;display:inline;margin:0 0 0 3px;padding:0}
#labelCloud a{text-decoration:none}
#labelCloud a:hover{text-decoration:underline}
#labelCloud li a{}
#labelCloud .label-cloud {}
#labelCloud .label-count {padding-left:0.2em;font-size:9px;color:#000}
#labelCloud .label-cloud li:before{content:"" !important}

4.Now copy below code and paste it between  ]]></b:skin>  and  </head>  tags.

<script type='text/javascript'>
// Label Cloud User Variables
var cloudMin = 1;
var maxFontSize = 20;
var maxColor = [0,0,255];
var minFontSize = 10;
var minColor = [0,0,0];
var lcShowCount = false;
</script>

5.Now again Scroll down to where you see this:

<b:widget id='Label1' locked='false' title='Labels' type='Label'/>

Note : Your label widget ID(Label1)  can be different.In my case label widget ID is 1.

Example:-If your label widget ID is x , above code is;

<b:widget id='Labelx' locked='false' title='Label Cloud' type='Label'>

Now replace  <b:widget id='Label1' locked='false' title='Label Cloud' type='Label'>  with below code.

<b:widget id='Label1' locked='false' title='Label Cloud' type='Label'>
<b:includable id='main'>
  <b:if cond='data:title'>
  <h2><data:title/></h2>
  </b:if>

  <div class='widget-content'>
  <div id='labelCloud'/>
<script type='text/javascript'>

// Don't change anything past this point -----------------
// Cloud function s() ripped from del.icio.us
function s(a,b,i,x){
  if(a&gt;b){
  var m=(a-b)/Math.log(x),v=a-Math.floor(Math.log(i)*m)
  }
  else{
  var m=(b-a)/Math.log(x),v=Math.floor(Math.log(i)*m+a)
  }
  return v
  }

var c=[];
var labelCount = new Array();  
var ts = new Object;
<b:loop values='data:labels' var='label'>
var theName = &quot;<data:label.name/>&quot;;
ts[theName] = <data:label.count/>;
</b:loop>

for (t in ts){
  if (!labelCount[ts[t]]){
  labelCount[ts[t]] = new Array(ts[t])
  }
  }
var ta=cloudMin-1;
tz = labelCount.length - cloudMin;
lc2 = document.getElementById('labelCloud');
ul = document.createElement('ul');
ul.className = 'label-cloud';
for(var t in ts){
  if(ts[t] &lt; cloudMin){
  continue;
  }
  for (var i=0;3 &gt; i;i++) {
  c[i]=s(minColor[i],maxColor[i],ts[t]-ta,tz)
  }  
  var fs = s(minFontSize,maxFontSize,ts[t]-ta,tz);
  li = document.createElement('li');
  li.style.fontSize = fs+'px';
  li.style.lineHeight = '1';
  a = document.createElement('a');
  a.title = ts[t]+' Posts in '+t;
  a.style.color = 'rgb('+c[0]+','+c[1]+','+c[2]+')';
  a.href = '/search/label/'+encodeURIComponent(t);
  if (lcShowCount){
  span = document.createElement('span');
  span.innerHTML = '('+ts[t]+') ';
  span.className = 'label-count';
  a.appendChild(document.createTextNode(t));
  li.appendChild(a);
  li.appendChild(span);
  }
  else {
  a.appendChild(document.createTextNode(t));
  li.appendChild(a);
  }
  ul.appendChild(li);
  abnk = document.createTextNode(' ');
  ul.appendChild(abnk);
  }
  lc2.appendChild(ul);  
</script>

<noscript>
  <ul>
  <b:loop values='data:labels' var='label'>
  <li>
  <b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:label.url'>
  <data:label.name/>
  <b:else/>
  <a expr:href='data:label.url'><data:label.name/></a>
  </b:if>
  (<data:label.count/>)
  </li>
  </b:loop>
  </ul>
</noscript>
  <b:include name='quickedit'/>
  </div>

</b:includable>
</b:widget>

Now save your template and your done.
