On Twitter Antonio Chagoury came through with a nice little tweet about his new tag cloud module, DNN Universal Tag Cloud.

The module is a nice tight package and integrates into the search provider for DNN so you have to have that enabled on the portal. I was able to quickly install the package without any problems on my DNN install and add it to my Blog page without any hiccups at all (look to the left here to see it in action).

The setup for the module is very simple and straight forward. Click on settings and pick where you want the tag cloud generated from, how many tags to generate, if you want an RSS feed of the tags, and if people can sort the tags. Click update and the tag cloud is there. Clicking on a tag takes you to a search for that term. You can even designate an outside search results page such as Google if you want, great for generating a little extra...

I am so glad I found the Kansas City Startup Weekend (purely by mistake on Twitter). Excited to go and see what the hype is about but mostly eager to go and get out of the funk I am in. One of my ‘goals’ for this year was to position myself as a freelance coder and consultant. If you are in the consulting business you know how hard it can be to establish a reputation, and I have had some unfortunate and bad breaks. However, I am determined to go and be productive and find or at least be inspired by all the entrepreneurial spirit I already feel online from the event.
