To create a similar tag cloud you should query all the posts and find keywords :-( @Rod: unfortunately this isn’t a simple task, unless you’re using a plug-in that stores keywords in a specific table of the database ;-)

Example: "I want the Tag Cloud just after the Latest Comments block". Ok, now you have to open the sidebar.php, find the piece of code that manages latest comments and place the tag cloud code just after this block. Maybe if you use WordPress widgets the situation is a little more complex: if I'm not wrong you can display the tag cloud before or after, not between two widgets (I'm not a widget fan ;-) ). Are you working on <a href="http://rosinalippi.com/storytelling3/" rel="nofollow">this</a> template? Did you modify the sidebar.php of the original template (Binary Blu v. 1.4.1)?

how should I know what the right point is in the template?

I need the tutorial because I’m new to WordPress and uncomfortable still with php … how should I know what the right point is in the template? I did study the template and I tried your snippet of code in a number of different places, saved it, uploaded it — but no tag cloud.

Disheartening, just when you think you’ve learned something.
