First of all Go to Your blogger Layout > Page Elements page and add a Labels Widget there..You can Do that using the Add a Page Element Option on that page.
After Adding the Label Widget Go to Layout > Edit Html (Do not expand the widget templates for the sake of easy explanation)
You will find some code similar to
<b:widget id='Label1' locked='false' title='Labels' type='Label'/>
<b:widget id='Label1' locked='false' title='Labels' type='Label'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:title'>
<h2><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div expr:class='"widget-content " + data:display + "-label-widget-content"'>
<b:if cond='data:display == "list"'>
<ul>
<b:loop values='data:labels' var='label'>
<li>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:label.url'>

<b:else/>
<a expr:dir='data:blog.languageDirection' expr:href='data:label.url'><data:label.name/></a>
</b:if>
<b:if cond='data:showFreqNumbers'>
<span dir='ltr'>(<data:label.count/>)</span>
</b:if>
</li>
</b:loop>
</ul>
<b:else/>

Save your template and now you should get a working Label Cloud On your Blog.
You can Configure the Gadget from the Gadget Options
Additional Tweaks
These tweaks are optional. Proceed further only if you want to customize the cloud to a better level...
Changing Cloud Colours:
you can change those colours editing the code a little bit..
you will have to expand your widget templates and modify these 2 lines of code
var maxColor =
and
var minColor =
you have to specify the RGB values there separated by commas..If you are sure of what should be the hex codes of the maximum and minimum colors,then you can use this convertor to convert the hex value to RGB values..If you are not sure of what the hex code of the colors are then have a look at this.
Changing the Font Sizes:
You can change the font sizes by editing these 2 lines of code
var minFontSize =
and
var maxFontSize =
