What’s is Tagnetic Poetry
Tagnetic Poetry is another experiment using Flash to display your blog’s tag cloud. It was Merel Zwart who came up with the brilliant idea to mimic magnetic poetry. Because it re-uses most of the code used in WP-Cumulus, the 0.8 version should already be pretty stable.
How to add Tagnetic Poetry in your Blogger layout
Thanks to Amanda, its possible now to add Tagnetic Poetry to blogger. Amanda has succeeded in porting WP-Cumulus (Blogumus!) to Blogger. As Tagnetic Poetry is based on WP-Cumulus, I made a little change to her code and it really work.
Go to “Layout” > “Edit HTML” in your Blogger dashboard, and search for the following line (or similar):
<b:section class='right_sidebar' id='sidebar' preferred='yes'>
Immediatly after this line, paste the following section of code:<b:widget id='Label99' locked='false' title='Labels' type='Label'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:title'>
<h2><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<script src='http://bloggyimg.googlepages.com/swfobject.js' type='text/javascript'/>
<div id='flashcontent'>Tagnetic Poetry by <a href='http://www.roytanck.com/'>Roy Tanck</a> and<a href='http://www.bloggerbuster.com'>Amanda Fazani</a> modified by <a href='http://khammami.blogspot.com'>Khalil Hammami</a></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var so = new SWFObject("http://bloggyimg.googlepages.com/tagcloud.swf", "tagcloud", "240", "300", "7", "#ffffff");
// uncomment next line to enable transparency
//so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so.addVariable("tcolor", "0x333333");
so.addVariable("mode", "tags");
so.addVariable("distr", "true");
so.addVariable("tspeed", "100");
so.addVariable("tagcloud", "<tags><b:loop values='data:labels' var='label'><a expr:href='data:label.url' style='12'><data:label.name/></a></b:loop></tags>");
so.addParam("allowScriptAccess", "always");
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>
<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</div>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:title'>
<h2><data:title/></h2>
