Wordle

What is a wordle?  A wordle is a graphic representation of the most frequently used words in a blog, free write, or speech, and Wordle is the site to do that. It’s simple, fun and creative.   To create a wordle, simply go to Wordle and click create. Enter a bunch of text into the box by either copying and pasting it from an article or paper, or just typing your own words; hit submit and let the site do the rest. After creating the wordle, users are able to customize the look of it. Options range from color to size and shape. One of the benefits of using a wordle in blog is that it adds variety—allowing readers to see what you’re most passionate about in a creative way.  


In wordle you can get the html link to the picture by saving to a public library. The html will be under the wordle. The bad thing about that is once you "x" out of it you will probably never see that wordle again because so many people save ever second. If you want to keep your wordle for the future you have to save it as a print screen.  In order to do that hit the "print screen" button on your keyboard. This makes a snapshot of what your screen looks like. Paste it into paint or anything you can edit, by pressing "cntrl" and "v" at the same time. Just crop out the wordle or what you want from it and save it as the individual wordle. Now that your wordle is ready to go upload it to where you want to use it and there it is.
