When you click the tags in the tag clouds…
-
At the moment, when you click a tag all it shows is the most recent article with that tag. See for yourself: http://www.theemotionmachine.com
I know how to change it so that it shows 5 or 10 articles instead of just the one, but I want it to be a list of all the articles with that tag (along with possibly the excerpts) – not just a huge wall of text. Does this make sense? Is there a tag plug-in that can fix this for me?

You don’t need a plugin. Just the right template file.
If your theme has a file called tag.php, edit it so that it resembles the index.php file. Otherwise, make a copy of your index.php file and rename it tag.php.
Just did that and I don’t notice a single difference. I made a duplicate of the index.php and named it tag.php. I see the new script in my WordPress editor. Are you sure thats all there is to it?
Yes – that’s all you need to set up a tag template. Now you can edit tag.php to fit your needs. Perhaps something like:
<p class="browsing">You are currently browsing all posts tagged with '<?php echo single_tag_title(); ?>'.</p> <?php wp_tag_cloud('format=list&unit=em&largest=2&smallest=1&number=0'); ?> <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <div <?php post_class();?> id="post-<?php the_ID();?>"> <h2 class="post-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2> <?php the_content(the_title('', '', false)." - continue reading…"); ?> <?php wp_link_pages('before=<div class="pagelist">Pages:&after=</div>&link_before=&link_after=&pagelink=%');?> <?php endwhile; ?><?php endif; ?>
Sorry, I am not knowledgeable with code. I tried just adding the code to the tag.php but it doesn’t do anything except make a mess.
I really like the way the tags on your site work. I just want people to be able to click the tag and see a list (with summaries) of all the articles that have that tag.
I don’t know your individual template structure but I’ve dropped a copy of that particular tag page (which is actually a custom page template) into the Pastebin. You’ll need to edit it for your sidebar call (compare it to your page.php file) but it should give you something to work with.
