* Enable/disable on a per-blog basis
* Set width and height
* Set foreground and background colors
* Set rotation speed
* Set number of tags to display in cloud
* Set minimum and maximum font sizes
* Can use tags and blog categories in cloud
* Includes SWFObject

* MT-Cumulus v1.0.0 is based on WP-Cumulus v1.13

Can someone help?

Thanks for responding Steve... question for your tho, any idea how I can get the PPM package. I'm using windows, that URL you gave me is NOT a repository URL. ActiveState needs to install the object, I dont know how to manually.
I hope I'm making sense here

A quick search revealed: http://ppm.tcool.org/dist/URI/at/activestate
I'm not a Windows guy, so I can't tell you how to install it, but it appears as though URI is on Activestate's own repo.

steve, the plugin is fantastic! i'm having one issue though and it's with dynamic pages. i get this smarty error,
Smarty error: [in evaluated template line 5]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'mtcumulus' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 580)
you can see it yourself at http://www.memeticians.com and just click on a tag from your tag cloud. the results page is created dynamically. otherwise, it works great on all static pages. perhaps it's me! i just don't know where to start.
thanks!

steve, another issue. when clicking a tag from the cloud in a subfolder page such as archived or categorized pages, the search link holds on to the subfolders and attaches the search link to the end instead of the root, of which a page not found results.
