tag clouds? i think u'll need to be a little more specific! If you want to create your own tags theres always xml... but i dont think thats what you mean!

Tag Cloud (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_cloud)
More Tag Cloud (http://www.tagcloud.com/)

But a script to create this I've not seen (nor have I ever sought one out, to be honest)

Ok, I'll admit it. I looked this up last night myself :emlaugh:

It looks like there's a service that does this for free - http://1000tags.com/freetag.html - but it's based on JavaScript. So it may not be optimal for search engines or some visitors.

Depending on what you use it for, many CMS and blog software usually have some provision for thei either nateively or via plugins. Check you favorite software site.

I've seen those before, but never knew what they were called. Interesting.

I was hoping there was a script to make something like 1000tags.com I guess it's just too new (but it does seem very simple to program)
