Why Blogumulus Is Not Working:The Complete Fix

Blogumulus is a Brilliant Animated Flash label Cloud for Blogger which is  just the blogger version of  Roy Tanck’s WP Cumulus available as Widget for WordPress.Recently a lot of people have been facing issues with blogumulus not animating or just not appearing in the blog.There are 2 & currently 2 reasons for Blogumulus not Working:
1)Due to Hosting Issues:If you have Blogumulus enabled in your blog then go to your Design Tab–>Edit Html–>Expand Widgets then find & replace the following :
http://halotemplates.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-cumulus-example/swfobject.js 

      with 

http://mopheat.site40.net/recources/tagcloud/swfobject.js 

And Replace :

http://halotemplates.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-cumulus-example/tagcloud.swf

with  

http://mopheat.site40.net/recources/tagcloud/tagcloud.swf
Incase  you wanna go for a another direct hosting server go to Ripway.com.They provide direct file links.Might come in handy if this script also fails.


2)If the Number of Labels is too high,then Blogumulus might not work properly.It cant display labels more than 118 I guess.Incase you wanna display more ,then you need to increase its height N width parametrs.For more detailed guys you can check here.Its not a good idea to display very long labels using Blogumulus as it might get truncated off.So its preferable to display the best N catchy labels in your Blogumulus.Besides Google doesn’t Index your pages using Your Labels or Meta tags now a days(Google Caffeine has a different Indexing Methodology).
Well now that wasn’t took Difficult now was It?Njoy!!!!!!!!

Blogumulus Not Working:The Complete Fix

Recently a lot of people have been  complaining that after successful installation of Blogumulus,the flash based tag cloud doesnt animate or worse is showing some kind of pluggin missing error.When people tried to click on the address all they could see was this:

A more careful observation revealed that the error was some access related issue with Amazon’s S3 storage services.This can easily be fixed by moving the tagcloud.swf and the swfobject.js files to another hosting service.So all you need to do is to replace :
http://halotemplates.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-cumulus-example/swfobject.js 

      with 

http://mopheat.site40.net/recources/tagcloud/swfobject.js 

And Replace :

http://halotemplates.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-cumulus-example/tagcloud.swf

with  

http://mopheat.site40.net/recources/tagcloud/tagcloud.swf

Just replace those 2 files and take a preview of uour template & you can see that your Blogumulus is back to life again , following the mouse cursors movements again,as if it has got a new life.Remember if Blogumulus ever fails to load again,then the issue has to be with the file hosting service.So make sure the links are alive.Njoy!!!!Hope you liked this post.Feel free to comment.
