Blog tags block

A Blog Tags block displays a list of blogs where font size visually indicates each blog's use. The more frequently used blogs appear in a larger font size and least used in smaller fonts. This format is sometimes called a "tag cloud".

1. Click the "Turn editing on" button.
2. Select Blog Tags from the Add blocks menu.
3. If appropriate, move the Blog Tags block up and/or left, using the arrow icons under the block title.

• Sort the tag display by - Here you can specify in what order you want the tags to appear. You can choose to sort the tag according to tag name. So the tags will be sorted in alphabetical order. Or you can choose to sort them according to last date used. So the most recent tag would appear first.
