   Great application, I am wondering if there is a way for the user to select phrases so that the words dont separate?

   You can achieve that by using API mode. Paste a text like this and select the API mode checkbox:

   <tags>
   <tag url="http://tagul.com" weight="130">Seperate words 1</tag>
   <tag url="http://google.com/search?q=words" weight="18">Seperate words 2</tag>
   <tag url="http://google.com/search?q=etc" weight="12">etc</tag>
   </tags>

   Hi,
   I've been implemented that code on my tagclouds and I was wondering if there's a way to randomize tags weight?
   "random" attribute is not working, is there any other attribute that will allow me not to weight my tags one by one?

   It is not possible to randomize tags' weights with Tagul. But you can export tags to excel and use RAND function to randomize weights and then finally paste xml into tagul.

   If you wish I can send you such xls workbook.

   P.S. Why do you need randomizing your weights? Just for fun?

   Thanx a lot, I'll try that.

   To answer your question, I believe I could save some time. When I'm making my clouds, I copy/paste the <tags> attributes a hundred times and then, I enter manually the weight of each one. But it's ok. I was just wondering on how to make even better...

   yeah, for fun.

   Cheers,

   Hi Alex,
   could you perhaps elaborate a little in the way to combine words? I have the same question. Where should you put this code:
   <tags>
   <tag url="http://tagul.com" weight="130">Seperate words 1</tag>
   <tag url="http://google.com/search?q=words" weight="18">Seperate words 2</tag>
   <tag url="http://google.com/search?q=etc" weight="12">etc</tag>
   </tags>

   On your own site? And the qeights you assigned to the words, are they random? The "tagul.com in the top url, should that be replaced by your own website?
   Sorry for all the questions, hope it's not too much :-)!

   This code must be placed in the "text" field on the "core options" tab of your cloud.

   More elaboration on combining words please...

   So I entered this code in the text box?
   <tags>
   <tag url="http://tagul.com" weight="130">Seperate words 1</tag>
   <tag url="http://google.com/search?q=words" weight="18">Seperate words 2</tag>
   <tag url="http://google.com/search?q=etc" weight="12">etc</tag>
   </tags>

   Now where do I put the words I want to add to the word cloud??!

   thanks!

   once you entered this...

   <tags>
   <tag url="http://tagul.com" weight="130">Seperate words 1</tag>
   <tag url="http://google.com/search?q=words" weight="18">Seperate words 2</tag>
   <tag url="http://google.com/search?q=etc" weight="12">etc</tag>
   </tags>

   you would put the word you do not want to seperate where it says Seprate words 1 and or Seprate words 2.

   For example if you wanted to have the words "I ran to the park" all together you would put them here...

   <tags>
   <tag url="http://tagul.com" weight="130">I ran to the park</tag>
   <tag url="http://google.com/search?q=words" weight="18">Seperate words 2</tag>
   <tag url="http://google.com/search?q=etc" weight="12">etc</tag>
   </tags>

   and so on...

   but to get this to work you must cheak the API Mode box under the text box!!!

   I hope this helps :)
