   Hello !
   I'm using wp-cumulus, and it works fine. But Google tools find "100" 404 error, searching for the cumulus xml. Its right : there's no tagscloud.xml in the plugin directory.
   So i dont really understand : the xml file is missing ??? Googlebot is following a stupid link (but i didnt find it in the page source so where did the bot find the link ?). Readme.txt says "XML path can be set through a flash var", but it doesnt really help...
   (-- searching for cumulus xml 404 on google, saw that i'm not alone ^^ but well, this is not the problem...)

   and im not english, so it's darker ^^
   well, what does it mean, and how can i resolve this pb ? thx !

   The XML file is a backup, used for testing. If the FLash movie does not get tags from WordPress, it'll look for the XML file instead.

   However, I don't see how this would generate 404 errors on a working WordPress installation, since in that case there will always be a tag cloud. An empty one should be fine.

   I'll look into this.

   thx Roy.
   I dont think there's problem for visitors, but i cant understand how Google find these links (dont see them in page's source) and dont know if it causes problem for... ah... ranking ?
