I've got a somewhat working tag cloud extension (beta) that I've been  
meaning to post for a number of weeks now but client distractions and  
hosting issues have delayed me in making them public. If anyone has a  
dying need to try them and doesn't mind being a guinea pig drop me a  
line personally and I'll package it up and email it to you in the  
interim.

Next of the list is to try and find a way to wrap Radiant with an  
extension that gives it a Wordpress/MoveableType/Blogger XML-RPC API  
to interface with so you can use a client such as Ecto or ScribeFire  
to post.

While it's not the most ideal system for running a traditional blog,  
it's the most extensible and usable of the other ruby based ones I've  
tried... and that extensibility just means you have to add whatever  
it is missing for you personally.
