How to install Blogumus in your Blogger Layout

Installing Blogumus in your Blogger layout is surprisingly simple! You should only need to copy and paste a section of code to your Blogger template, though any tweaks for the style of display will require some manual editing. Here are the steps required to install Blogumus in your Blogger layout:

Go to Layout > Edit HTML in your Blogger dashboard, and search for the following line (or similar) :

<b:section class='sidebar' id='sidebar' preferred='yes'>

Then paste the following section of code below above line.

Then preview your template.If you see it in your sidebar then save it.
Now All you have to do is matching the colors.For this read below...

In this default installation, Blogumus includes the following preset variables:

Width is set to 240px

Height is set to 300px;

Background color is white

Test color is grey

Font size is "12"

If you would prefer to make your widget wider, shorter, change the color scheme, etc, you will need to do this by editing various parts of the code. I'll go through these options in the order they appear in the widget code.

EDITING WIDTH and HEIGHT
The variables for width and height are found in this line of the script:

var so = new SWFObject("http://halotemplates.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-cumulus-
example/tagcloud.swf", "tagcloud", "240", "300", "7", "#ffffff");

The width (currently 240) is highlighted in red, while the height (300px default) is highlighted in blue. These numerical values specify the width and height in pixels, so you can alter these of you prefer.

EDITING BACKGROUND COLOR
You can change the background color from white to any other color by altering the hex value in the same line:

var so = new
SWFObject("http://halotemplates.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-cumulus
-example/tagcloud.swf", "tagcloud", "240", "300", "7", "<b
style="color: red;"
