I followed the instructions and got an error when i tried to display the form on the desired page.

The error was ..

A critical error has occurred.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

It caused the page to go all strange also. Please help!!

Hi Jenifer,

I don't quite understand where you are entering a colon in your XMod form code for the FatGeorge Tag Cloud.

If the FatGeorge Tag Cloud was properly installed according to the Fatgeorge instructions and if you follow the form code in the article and simply replace the name of your XMod form, go to configure Xmod module on your main XMod module instance and add the proper filter by URL parameters, and add the link to your main XMod module instance page it should work as expected.
