Tag cloud
I love Bryght's built in tagging function. I'm trying to figure out the best way to show tags to the users so they can navigate.
I would like a Tag Cloud Block that could I put in the sidebar (or wherever). Is this possible?
Is there any way to generate clouds from the tags?

Tagadelic
My research so far indicates that I need the Tagadelic module to do this. eg: http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/Tagadelic
Other Bryght sites have it. eg: http://www.theworldisnotflat.com/keywords & http://bmannconsulting.com/tag-cloud
Is it possible to install this module on my basic site?
Tagadelic
Indeed it's the Tagadelic module, but the Bryght sites you mention are both VPS customers, who either installed it themselves or it came with the developmental version of the Bryght Basic 'profile'. We're adding Tagadelic so that every customer gets it (at least that's my understanding, I'll double check tomorrow morning). Rather, we're currently testing the latest 'trunk' of the code—that is, the not-yet-released-version-of-Bryght-Basic-that-VPS-customers-can-try-at-their-own-risk—which includes Tagadelic, but we're in the final stages of testing, and it should be released pretty soon.
Wiki profile
I misspoke, the Tagadelic module isn't part of the Basic profile, but rather the wiki profile, which you can signup for at preview.bryght.com. That would create a separate site using the Wiki profile, a set of modules and settings to create a wiki on a hosted environment. It's in preview mode right now (hence the URL preview.bryght.com), so no, it's currently not possible to add a tag cloud like you see on the sites you mentioned unless you get a VPS and install the Tagadelic module.
Tags block
Also, I enabled the "Tags" block but nothing showed up. Do I need to flip a switch somewhere else?
Tags block?
What's the exact title of the block you were trying to enable? It might be that you were trying to enable a category block, but that shows the latest items from that category, not the categories themselves.
