   I'm a newb at blogging, just started yesterday and have encountered a problem.

   I want a tag cloud, so I used the CTC widget, and installed it fine. But it shows as a list and not a cloud on the blog. I'm guessing it's the theme's fault, what should I do?

   My theme is the day-night theme, although I edited the theme so it's now just the day part.

   Here's my blog link.

   Thanks, nelaG

   I'm running the latest version of everything by the way.

   Why not use the WordPres Tag Cloud Widget?

   Still doesn't work.
   I've tried 3 tag clouds. None of them work, they all show a list. = /

   So you are using the native WordPress Tag Cloud widget?

   Um. I don't really understand you, forgive my newbyness

   I'm not sure if this is the widget you were talking about.

   That one didn't work, neither did the others I tried. I'm really sure it's the themes fault and I'm wondering what I should do. I really like the theme.

   I was referring to the 'built-in' Widget that is derived from the standard tags used in a 2.3 (or higher) version of WordPress. For instance, the WordPress Default 1.6 theme, when using the Tag Cloud Widget, displays a Cloud.

   No, how do you do that?

   Change your theme to WordPress Default 1.6 in Administration > Presentation > Themes.

   Then drag the Tag Cloud widget into the Sidebar 1 area. See Administration > Presentation > Widgets.
