I need simple instructions on how to Shrink Tag Cloud Font?

  • Hi,

    I’m using WordPress 2.7.1 I would like to shrink my tag cloud font. Some of the tags are spilling over from the one right sidebar into the one next to it…ick, messy!

    I am a newbie and can’t write my own code, but I do know how to copy and paste code. I’m fairly familiar with the different sections of my blog, but I’m not a programmer or code writer.

    I’ve checked the support forums and documentation. I see some answers but they are not very clear or descriptive for me. Apologies for asking a dumb question.

    I just want to be sure that I do it correctly.

    Thanks!

    As you can see the tag_cloud function has a smallest and largest parameter. Setting these will set your tag clouds smallest largest font. The example below sets the smallest font to 10 and the largest font to size 20.

    <?php wp_tag_cloud('smallest=10&largest=20'); ?>

    Thanks for the link to the Codex.

    I understand that there are parameters. I just don’t know where to find this to change things around. As I mentioned, I’m a newbie.

    In my Dashboard, I went to Appearance and then, to Editor. Where is the tag cloud function set of code? I don’t know where to tweak it and not sure under which of the headings it fits (as I mentioned, I’m not a coder or a programmer).

    Which File is it under?

    Where do I find this one line of code to tweak?

    It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack LOL.

    Thanks and blessings,
    L
