hey jeff,
unfortunately there's no out-of-the box solution for this inside easyblog. however I'm attaching you a modified file here that will help you accomplish this.
in order to get this work you have to do 2 steps:
1) upload the file to your yourjoomla/templates/yourtemplate/html/com_easyblog (of course yourjoomla=your directory and yourtemplate=name of your template). doing this will put the file to the overrides folder, means you don't have to worry about updates and therefore don't have to apply changes over and over again

2) add this to your frontend language override (if you use multiple languages then add this to all your languages): COM_EASYBLOG_TAGS_CUSTOM_TEXT="Enter some custom text here..." and replace my demo text with the informations you want to provide.

hope this helps but if you have any questions about this or need further assistance feel free to ask anytime

Thanks for sharing Alex

Thanks Alex,

1) I created a com_easyblog directory to yield /httpdocs/templates/yoo_avenue/html/com_easyblog - and then uploaded the blog.tagcloud.php file to this new directory. The tag display now looks like the attached screenshot.

2) However, I don't know where to put the - COM_EASYBLOG_TAGS_CUSTOM_TEXT="Enter some custom text here..." I only have one language on the site, at /httpdocs/language/en-GB. There is, however, an "overrides" directory at /httpdocs/language/overrides, which has an (empty) index.html file in it.

Anyway, just where am supposed to put the COM_EASYBLOG_TAGS_CUSTOM_TEXT="Enter some custom text here..." part...? And, if this part is to go inside a file, what file extension should I be using?

TIA - Jeff.

Hello Jeff,

You could just place these custom language strings into /language/en-GB/en-GB.com_easyblog.ini or follow the guide in the blog post here, http://stackideas.com/blog/how-to-override-joomla-language-strings

That is excellent, Alex. Works perfectly! Thanks so much. - Jeff.

you're welcome jeff. great to hear that your issue's resolved. have a nice day
