Tag Cloud Look-a-like

    Good evening everyone! :)

    I think this is the forum to put this question in... not quite sure.

    I LOVE tag clouds. But, I'd like to do something for my website that looks like a Tag Cloud, but isn't based on tags. Because that's a realllllllly bad explaination, let me just tell you. I want to do a page that looks like a tag cloud that lists all the things my clients could be doing with their free time (like waterskiing, watching movies, surfing.....)

    Is there anything out there that can take on the appearance of a tag cloud? Or do I have to manually do this in photoshop? :eek:

    Could you not recreate them as text links styled with CSS?

    Yeah, just do it in plain ol' html and add different text sizes with css.

    Could be something like this:

    
    <span style="font-size: 15pt;">Surfing</span>
    <span style="font-size: 20pt;">Watching TV</span>
    <span style="font-size: 17pt;">Sleeping</span>
    <br />
    <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Family Time</span>
    <span style="font-size: 25pt;">Travelling</span>
    <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Meeting People</span>
    
    HTML:
    Personally I think it's easier with photoshop, just type all the words in a text box and give them different font sizes (They can all be on the same layer)
