The problem of displaying tags in your sidebar is that it isn’t really readable, which caused many bloggers to get rid of tags. In this recipe, I’m going to show you how to create a tage page to display your tags in a more readable manner.

The problem of displaying tags in your sidebar is that it isn’t really readable, which caused many bloggers to get rid of tags. In this recipe, I’m going to show you how to create a tage page to display your tags in a more readable manner.
To create your tag page, the first thing to do is to create a page template. Follow theses simple steps if you don't know how to create one.
Once done, paste the following code in it:
<h2>All tags</h2>
<?php wp_tag_cloud('number=0'); ?>
That's simple as that! The number=0 parameter specifies that you want to display all tags.

How to show tag as a list (not cloud) in our sidebar. Please write about this. Thanks
Busby, use ‘format=list’ in your code.
It ate my code
wp_tag_cloud('number=0&format=list');I cooked up my own guide for creating a Tags Archive page. Feel free to sample this in your recipes. My tags archive is more feature extensive (more stuff happening on the tags page). For those who want to dig in, I’m sharing the codes I used, on the WP support blog, here:

I show 50 random tags in a familiar cloud, then the 50 most common tags in weighted order (it looks kind of like Star Wars text going from most-used big tags to less-used tiny tag text).
Then I show the comprehensive list of all my tags. I have a special code to count the total # of tags (right now I have 885 so it says “Now viewing 885 Tags in alphabetical order”).
Then I’ve got the “No tags” list of untagged posts. For each post with no tags it says “No tags for POST-TITLE”. This helps me & my editors know which posts need to be tagged.
Thanks for starting the topic & giving a starter recipe!

And to complete your recipe, you can use this more detailed how-to, also available in French at : How to insert a tag cloud in a WordPress Blog
Have a good day !
Love your site!!! I would really like to see a print option at the top or bottom of each post.
I use Microsoft’s 2007 Office OneNote and there is an option, that I just love, to print anything right into your notebook.
I’ve been building one about Word Press with many of the tips and
tricks you offer.
Thanks, by the way, for sharing your knowledge so freely! (Email me if you’d like to discuss putting them into a book that could easily sell.)
And of course, I could keep on highlighting and going to file, then print, then (print) selection. But, to just be able to hit print then select the “send to OneNote 2007 Printer” option would be so much nicer.
Please think about it. Hey it could even be the subject of one days blog article teaching us how to do it also!
Thanks again! Your sites are wonderful – you have a new fan!
Sincerely,

I’m even following you on Twitter now (my screen name there is Jewels999GreatE).
I made a tags page, but when I click on a tag, I don’t get a link to the content. What do I need to fix?
