ADD LABEL CLOUD OR TAG CLOUD WIDGET FOR BLOGGER

As here you are served with the best gadgets, In this post i had added a special gadget Labels cloud or Tags cloud. In this gadget all your labels or tags will move in a cloudy shape as hovered over by the user and you can select any one of them easily just with a single click on the label. As you need at-least 1 label must have more than one entry, a bug in the script causes it to fail when all the labels have one only entry.
