   I have a blog (that I call my master blog) and then I have several other blogs like sub-blogs in separate directories under the same domain name (each were separately installed), but all in one database. Each blog has separate "terms" tables, where the tags are stored.

   I would like my master blog to use tags from all of the different blogs installed in that database in order to create a tag cloud of all blogs. How do I make the master blog use the tags from all the different "terms" tables?

   I am using WordPress 2.7 and looking for a simple solution, i.e., perhaps just typing in the separate names of the different tables somewhere.

   Ideas? What would be the best and fastest way of doing this?

   Not that easy to create a combined tag cloud so might consider creating links where reach link represents a tag and the url of the link is the url of that tag in each of the other blogs.

   But then again, maybe there's something in the WordPress MU world that could do that...

   If I have ten blogs who all have tags, and all of them happen to have used a tag called "PHP Programming", I would then have to have 10 links, one for each blog, based on what you are saying, right? Wouldn't that be a little cumbersome?

   I can imagine SQL queries getting the results from different tables and such, but I am not sure if that could even work in WP.

   Or maybe there is a way to list the top 5-10 tags per blog. Somehow, I want my users to see what's hot and where the action is. This usually sparks interest and ideas of the users, who then visit blogs versus never visiting them since they wouldn't see any reason why to.

   Well here's something in the MU world to consider:
