Web Wednesday: Wordle

Here's an entertaining website that lets you express your creativity. Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

I quickly created this word cloud by asking Wordle to select words from this blog.

Tip: To save the word cloud as a jpg, use "Print Screen" and paste into a graphics editor. Then crop to remove all but the word cloud itself.
