Adding a tag cloud to your blog template

If you're a frequent blogger and would like to create a tag cloud of the popular tags of the blogs you create, you can edit your template and add this piece of code to your side bar (for Roller). This is what I did today and you can see the tag cloud in the side bar.

#set($mytags = $model.weblog.getPopularTags(-1, 100))
#foreach ($tag in $mytags)
  #if ($tag.count > 2)
   $tag.name
  #end
#end

I was wondering how to do this. I did try, and it didn't seem to take. Any suggestions? I'm HTML illiterate... Thanks! Barb
