Hi Nick

How can I get 2 colours for the tags as in the screenshot in your post ? I am seeing only one colour on the tags in my site.

Not sure about that screenshot, it's probably something to do with "visited" links. The default colors for the tag cloud are gray scale. You can copy the tag_cloud.css file into your theme's css folder and edit them however you like.

i don't see this as a problem as such but i don't remember what i did before to make this work, but when i click on my tag cloud keywords, it doesnt display any until i press on the upcoming, latest or all tabs...how can i make these mandatory so when users press on a keyword it shows them maybe them all?

It's a hack, but in tag_cloud.php, change line 122:

echo "<a href='" . $h->url(array('tag' => $tag['link_word'])) . "' "; 

to

echo "<a href='" . $h->url(array('page' => 'all', 'tag' => $tag['link_word'])) . "' ";

Click a tag, then click "Sort & Filter" and choose "Latest" or "All".

The widget side of this is working great for me, but the tag cloud page itself is making all the tags .tag_group0.

When I originally implemented it, it worked. Well, I checked the tag page and it was fine. Then when I edited the css to change some colours in the widget groups, the tag cloud page started making them all .tag_group0. I deleted and reinstalled, but that didn't fix it. I can't think of anything else I could have done. I'm not using friendly urls, but I doubt that has anything to do with it.
