Embed Tag Cloud (In Other Than Sidebar)

I try to embed WordPress tag cloud to the header part of the theme. Tag print is called from wp_tag_cloud('smallest=8&largest=16'). One example would be by inserting that function in this part of header.php of the corresponding theme:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

	<div class="header">
        	<?php if (is_home()) : ?>
        		<h1><?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
				<span><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></span></h1>
				<?php wp_tag_cloud('smallest=8&largest=16'); ?>
        	<?php else : ?>
		        <h1><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a>
				<span><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></span></h1>
	        <?php endif; ?>
	</div>

Another embedding option is to use the famous wp-cumulus plugin.
