Tag Cloud Shortcode Plugin
The plugin enables any page or post author to include a Tag Cloud by using a shortcode instead of hacking theme template files.
The plugin gives users the oportunity to embed a tag cloud for a site within any page.
When using the shortcode [tagcloud] when
writing in the content of any page, the user includes in the page, a
tag cloud for posts on that site.
I am working on adding the ability to set options, such as sizes, etc…

FAQ
How do I use the plugin?
When you write or edit the content of a page, simply include
[tagcloud] (along with the brackets) whenever you want the tag cloud to
be displayed. Make sure you activate the plugin before you use the
shortcode.
Why is the tag cloud not displayed, even though I included the shorttag ?
The plugin probably has not yet been activated.
Why does my posted content also show the shortcode [tagcloud]?
At the moment, the tag-cloud-shortcode plugin only works when used
in pages. The content displayed by the plugin table probably
malfunctioned if you used the shortcode in a post.
