<OL><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><B>Category-based</B>, using the category names that you have defined on your blog platforms. 
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><B>Content-based</B>, using the full text of all your posts to build a keyword profile. 
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><B>Excerpt-based</B>, using the text of excerpts of your posts. 
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><B>Tag-based</B>, using the tag strings used for bookmarking/ indexing services such as Technorati, Del.icio.us, and so on. (For example, at the bottom of this post, you’ll see a list of links prefaced by the words “Technorati Tags”. I use these to tell Technorati’s index bot how I’m categorizing the post. Since I always try to use tags in my posts that are are somewhat different than my blog platform’s categories, I’m providing supplemental information.) 
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><B>Theme pyramid-based</B>. I’ve got an article on this subject almost ready to post here, but in short, a theme pyramid is a multi-page topic index that guides site visitors to your archived posts using related terms to those actually used in your posts. </LI></OL></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.codeprofessor.com/journal/2006/05/02/5-types-of-tag-clouds/"></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9ED81993-D1E0-4EFB-9BF1-368FABEF75F0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
