Flash Tag Cloud and BE 2.0

As I'm building the blog site up, adding widgets, extensions, etc, I'm becoming more and more familiar with how things work.  I like this. I'm able to offer some small guidance in the discussion forums; which is always nice.  Most recently, I tried to add the Flash Tag Cloud widget.  I should say I did because it is there.  I said tried because initially I couldn't get it to work at all.  Then I went through the BE-supplied Breaking Changes list and realized I had forgotten to make the changes to the widget's source code.  So, finally, when I added the widget, it appeared.  However, there were no tags floating around. I edited the settings on the widget several times, but no avail. Nothing was working.  Then, after about 20 mins of trying different themes, settings, double-checking source code, it occurred to me.  Tag clouds often don't list every-single-tag-ever-used; commonly it's the most oft-used tags.  So, I created several new posts, duplicating existing tags and voila! My tag cloud was there, populated, spinning and all awesome-like.

So, just a note to any other wpCumulus-based-BE-widget users... make sure you have plenty of posts/tags for your widget to read, otherwise you might be staring at a blank white box. heh Now, I just gotta come up with some more legit posts to get that widget working.
