New Tag Cloud Sidebar Widget
Now that you’ve been tagging your entries with our new tag feature, you may want to give your readers a way to easily see which tags you use the most—and to let them click the tag to view all entries using that tag.
That’s what our new Tag Cloud widget does.
The Tag Cloud widget is used to display the weighted list of tagged entries. Tag Clouds describe, by relative size, which tags are most and least used. A tag cloud can increase your site’s “stickiness” by encouraging readers to check out some of your tags.
To add the Tag Cloud, select Sidebar from the Design Blog menu and then drag and drop the "Tag Cloud" into the Active Widgets columns. That's it…well, make sure you’ve been tagging your entries. Check out Managing Quick Blogcast Tags in our help center if you need assistance.

Tag cloud isn't visible to be able to drag over to widget area. Please let me know when that will be available. I thought I had a deluxe account. If not please force me the link where I can change or upgrade in order to get my tag clouds going. thank you.
Hi Scott,
I show that your Quick Blogcast account is an Economy account. In order to upgrade to a Deluxe account, follow these steps:
1. Go to Godaddy.com and log into your account.
2. Once you are logged in, click the Quick Blogcast link under MY PRODUCTS on the main left sidebar.
You can alternatively get to this page by logging into your quick blogcast account at app.quickblogcast.com/login.aspx, and on the main dashboard, there is a "Add More Features" image you can click. This will show a pop up that has an "Upgrade" link.
3. Your blog account should display, click the domain link for your blog account, "BLOGCAST.SCOTTWOODSIDE.COM", do not click the "Mange Account" link as this will just launch you into your blog account.
4. Once you click the domain link, you will see a panel to the right that looks like this:
5. Click the "Upgrade/Downgrade Quick Blogcast Account" link. Once you do this, you will can change your plan from Economy to Deluxe.
6. When you click the "Continue", you will be taken through the check out process.
Let us know if you have any problems upgrading your account. Thanks.

Can you please let me know how I can add my blog (have a premium account) to the Google Webmaster Tools - we need to be able to add a Meta Tag or HTML file in a place Google can view it but whilst your websitetonight accounts let us do that, the BlogCast site does not appear to?
Hi Torstyn,
Quick Blogcast currently does not integrate directly with Google Web Master Tools like WebSite Tonight does. This is in the works and will hopefully be integrated soon.
In the mean time, you can verify your blog with your Web Master Tools account manaully. You will want to copy the meta tag that Google provides when you are logged into your Web Master Tools account. It will look something like this:
<meta name="verify-v1" content="S0imiNcFxiggOOZVxEjxMd5l32DwmSNC7MDk0rFrveY=" />
To add this meta tag to blog, follow these steps:
1. Go to Settings under the Manage Blog menu.
2. Go to the Meta tab.
3. Click Add Tag under the Custom Meta Tags section.
4. For Name, just put "verify-v1". For Content put "S0imiNcFxiggOOZVxEjxMd5l32DwmSNC7MDk0rFrveY=" (make sure to put the value Google supplies you, it will differ from the one in my example). Click the Apply button. There may be a small delay before the meta tag shows up on your published blog.
5. Inside your Web Master Tools account, go to verify site under your blog url, and click the Verify button.
That's it. Google will pick up your meta tag and verify your blog. Let us know if you have any problems. Thanks.
