sorry… I was going to paste it in the last post, but I was trying to figure out what the heck I had done to it! 
I believe now that I added the tag:cloud function to the bottom of it, the tag:tag_name function is now pulling the cloud?
here’s the current code:
{exp:tag:gallery_entries gallery="{gallery_name}" orderby="date" sort="desc" columns="3" rows="8" inclusive="yes" websafe_separator="+"}
<div class="entry">
<table class="tableBorder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<th colspan="4">{exp:tag:tag_name}</th>
</tr>
{entries}
{row_start}<tr>{/row_start}
{row}
<td class="thumbs"><div class="hoverbox">
<a href="{id_path=photos/image}"><img src="{thumb_url}" class="border" width="{thumb_width}" height="{thumb_height}" border="0" title="{title}" /><img class="preview" src="{medium_url}" {if thumb_width > thumb_height}width="210" height="150"{if:else}width="150" height="210"{/if} title="{title}" /></a></div>
<div class="photo_title">{title}</div>
</td>
{/row}
{row_blank}<td class="thumbs"> </td>{/row_blank}
{row_end}</tr>{/row_end}
{/entries}
</table>
{paginate}
<div class="paginate">
<span class="pagecount">Page {current_page} of {total_pages} pages</span> {pagination_links}
</div>
{/paginate}
<div class="photo_tags">
<br />
{exp:tag:cloud gallery="gallery_name" category="{category}" exclude="{category}" groups="10" start="6" step="2" limit="40"}
{if segment_3 != 'tag'}<a href="{path='photos/category_tagged/{segment_3}/tag'}{websafe_tag}" title="{tag_name}" style="font-size:{step}px;">{tag}</a>{if:else}<a href="{path='photos/category_tagged/tag'}{websafe_tag}" title="{tag_name}" style="font-size:{step}px;">{tag}</a>{/if}
{/exp:tag:cloud}
</div> <!-- END photo_tags -->
{/exp:tag:gallery_entries}
