I've started trying to convert my silverlight tag cloud into a widget for blogger.
not fun :-( Blogger documentation is minimal, and I wasted too much time try to get blogger to tell me the feed address.
Have stopped at the hard-coded version for now - will move it forward later.
This latest version allows you to click on labels and see visually what the co-occurred with. Next steps will be to be able to see the list of posts for a label and to be able to open that post...
This representation does more that just look at how many times a label has been used (as per the blogger widget) - it looks at when the labels where used with other labels - which hopefully give a better "view" of what you are bloggin about.
more later, however the intention is to wrap this up into a widget that anyone can use on their blogger blog..

Dynamic tag cloud in silverlight with colour
The first version started to show the relationships, adding some simple colour coding makes the co-occurance more obvious and starts to show the themes of a blog:
I've added the ability to use other RSS feeds, however there are some security issues that mean for lots of feeds this code will just fall over..
Two feeds that work apart from mine are:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/PolymathProgrammer?format=xml
http://feeds.feedburner.com/programmableweb
see if you can work out their topics by the tag cloud!

Dynamic tag cloud in silverlight
Trying to build a tag cloud in Silverlight that represents co-occurance as well, heres my first cut:
The code reads my RSS feed and looks at the labels - this should work for any blog..
trying dragging for fun! I'll post the code once I've mad a few more enhancements (and checked my math!)
