The custom word cloud plugin will generate word cloud images based on page 
content or the contents of a form POST input named “content”. The cloud is 
specified using shortcode tags on the page where the content or form exist.
<h4>Example 1</h4>
As an example the following entered into a WordPress page will result in a 
page with a word cloud image displayed above the paragraph that is a link 
map with google searches for each word in the cloud:
<pre><code>[cwcloud] 
[cwcimage] 
[cwcmap]

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union,
establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common
defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to
ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the
United States of America.

[/cwcloud]
</code></pre>
<h4>Example 2</h4>
Another example where a user may enter their own paragraph of text and 
generate a custom word cloud:
<pre><code>[cwcloud post="true" id="mycloud"] 
[cwcmap] 
[cwcimage] 
<form method="post"> 
<textarea cols="40" rows="10" name="content">[cwcpostcontent]</textarea> 
[cwcform] 
<input type="submit" value="Build Cloud" />
</form>
[/cwcloud] 
</code></pre>
<h4>Example 3</h4>
An example of a form with attributes set to some custom default settings and 
the id attribute is not set so a fresh id will be generated for each user 
created word cloud:
<pre><code>[cwcloud post="true" palette="#046, #fe0, #2f2, #82f" width="500" height="250"
word_limit="30"]
[cwcimage]
[cwcdownloadlink]
<form method="post"><textarea cols="40" rows="10"
name="content">[cwcpostcontent]</textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Build Cloud" /> [cwcform]
</form>
[/cwcloud]
</code></pre>
<h4>Attributes</h4>
The [cwcloud] tag accepts multiple attributes and there are some custom 
shortcode tags that can be used inside the enclosed [cwcloud][/cwcloud] tags:
attributes: 
id – specify an id to use for this word cloud image 
i.e. “mycloud”

<h4>Shortcodes</h4>

Custom Word Cloud

The plugin renders a tag cloud using a professionally designed tag image as a background.
The plugin’s tag cloud is completely responsive and is correctly rendered in all browsers.
The primary application of this feature is through the “Cool Tag Cloud” widget, but you can also use the shortcode [cool_tag_cloud] to display the tag cloud anywhere where shortcodes are supported.
Here is the list of parameters that can be used with the shortcode, each with its own set of potential values (which are separated by the | symbol):
<ul>
<li><code>style="default|silver|green|red|blue|brown|purple|cyan|lime|black"</code></li>
<li><code>font_family="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"</code></li>
<li><code>smallest="10"</code></li>
<li><code>largest="10"</code></li>
<li><code>align="left|right"</code></li>
<li><code>font_weight="normal|bold"</code></li>
<li><code>text_transform="none|uppercase|lowercase|capitalize"</code></li>
<li><code>number="20"</code></li>
<li><code>order_by="name|count"</code></li>
<li><code>order="ASC|DESC|RAND"</code></li>
<li><code>taxonomy="post_tag"</code></li>
<li><code>nofollow="yes|no"</code></li>
<li><code>animation="yes|no"</code></li>
<li><code>on_single_display="global|local"</code></li>
<li><code>on_archive_display="all|children|siblings|descendants"</code></li>
<li><code>exclude="1,2,3"</code></li>
<li><code>include="1,2,3"</code></li>
</ul>

Cool Tag Cloud

This came as a blessing when I had written some custom code to show a custom Taxonomy cloud on sidebar. The options to customize are so cool, and I love the option to either show the taxonomy related to a post on a Single post page or all tags, that makes it so versatile. Thanks so much to the author.
