Hi Julia, I guess the reason of the unseccess of "tagcloud-generator" is that you put a URL address which is not applicable for the generator. I found the "tagcloud-generator" only drags all the words or phrases with a link on the webpage, which means if the URL you entered has none or few links, it probably won't work. You may try some websites which have a number of links, it should work. However, for some people I have asked, they don't think it is a good idea to use such a method to generate tag clouds.
You mentioned the "3-or-less-letters words", of course a lot of these are stop words, such as the, a, in etc, which have no special meanings, but still some "3-or-less-letters words" may have particular meanings, like ox, pen. So it may be better to block the stop words rather than focus on the length of the words. I also found the effect of "tocloud" doesn't work, so don't mind if you can't get it. I think "tocloud" is overall good, but it is not good to have all the options piled together. Actually those options can be listed in a clearer way. However, it is really smart to select the phrases also, not only single words. Thank you for your opinions. Regards, Sarah . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
