FAQ
What is the difference between Wordle and Tagul?^
Wordle is designed to be just a toy. Wordle clouds cannot be used as in the way tag clouds are usually used, like being embedded on a web page and serving as navigation units. Tagul is intended to fulfil that niche. Tagul clouds are not toys and designed to be used on blogs, web pages or any kind of sites as a replacement of ordinary tag clouds. Each tag in Tagul cloud is linked with an URL and is “clickable” that enables visitors to use it for navigation. Also Tagul utilizes widely used flash platform (instead of less common java platform in Wordle) that is light weight (~50kb per cloud vs ~150kb) and stores the clouds on aCDN to deliver clouds to wide audience instanlty. Tagul has some features that Wordle doesn’t, like custom shapes selection and multiply fonts usage in one cloud.
I want to submit my tags list, how can I achieve that?^
The best option is to use API mode. Alternatively you can create a txt file with your words where each word weight will be determinated basing on how often it occurs in the txt file, then place it on any web server accessible from the internet and feed its URL as your cloud’s source (URL field on the “Core Options” tab of your cloud).
How can I make tags links to point to my site instead of to google?^
You should specify “Tags’ links pattern” in “Core Options” tab of your cloud. You can read more about it in this section in Docs or in this topic in forums.
How to strip common words?^
It’s easy. Fetch your tags, switch to the “Tags” tab, point over a tag you want to strip and click the “X” buttion on the right.
That’s it! You can see and/or revert back your stripped tags on the “Black list” tab.
