Blog contests, guest blogging and wordpress stuff all rolled into one

I have a few different things to write about today, so as you can probably tell by the post title, I’ve decided to lump them all into one big post. If you’re a regular reader here, you probably know that I’m also a co-founder of the BlogsWeLuv blog along with Tish from Blogging Gal. We just launched our latest blog contest in which one lucky reader will win a blog review and 1,000 credits from Entrecard. Submission to the contest is easy and you can learn how over on BlogsWeLuv.
We’re also currently looking for new contributors on BlogsWeLuv. If you’re interested in writing at least one blog review per week, please check out Tish’s post for more details!
Last but certainly not least, I’m hoping someone out there may be have a simple solution for something we’re trying to implement on the BlogsWeLuv site. We’d like to create a tag cloud using custom fields. For example, every post made on BlogsWeLuv contains keywords which helps us to generate a list of related posts. Has anyone heard of a plugin that would allow the creation of a tag cloud using custom fields? The fields are considered meta-data I guess. Any insight anyone may have would be wonderful =)

Great post, Mike. And thanks for the link to Blogging Gal! I’ll post about the contest on my sites as well, and I’ve already submitted it to 7 contest sites.
Have a good day!

I’m not sure if I understand the question right, but Wordpress already has tag clouds built in as part of their new tagging setup. If that’s what you need, then it should just be a case of looking it up on Wordpress.org and figuring out what tags to put where.

@Tish: Thank ya
I kinda sorta didn’t finish up my BWL to do list last night. I passed out from like 9 til 4:30 this morning 
@Linda: I read a blurb about that but it was unclear to me whether it treats tags the same way as custom fields. I’m guessing not because a custom field can really be just about anything you want it to be.
