	PHP Tag Cloud
	I was trying to develop a tag cloud for one of my sites, and had some difficulty finding the best way to calculate what the size of each tag should be. Since I couldn't find a good solution online, I wrote my own.

	A little bit of Googling landed me at Prism-Perfect. Here we find a very basic PHP script that really doesn't cut the mustard. The problem is that she takes a strictly linear approach -- the tag proportion (percentage) is used directly to determine the font size of the tag cloud. The reason why this is a poor choice to create a tag cloud is that tag frequency tends to not to be evenly distributed. Instead a few tags will usually have a very high frequency of use, and then it drops off rapidly. A tag cloud created using a tag frequency directly to determine font size will have a few tags that are very large, many tags that are very small, and almost nothing in between.

	In the comments section of the Prism-Perfect post, I found
