At wordle you can create a word cloud. What's a word cloud? The graphic below is an example. I took the text of the Declaration of Independence and pasted into wordle. It created the graphic.

There doesn't seem to be a good way to save the image. I just took a screen shot and clipped it.

This one uses the Cellar rules as the source and a different layout.

Those are very cool. Thanks for the link.

richlevy · 01-11-2009, 09:47 AM

Really nice. I created one by mixing the Constitution and Declaration. There are a lot of features to vary font, remove common words (and, the), alter placement, etc.

classicman · 01-11-2009, 09:01 PM

That is awesome. I have a great idea for that. (secret)

Gratis tibi for the link. I used it to make a birthday card for a musician friend by taking the lyrics to one of his CDs and making a wordle card for him. It came out much better than if I had tried to do it.

Couldn't figure out how the hell to post the pic, but here is a link to mine. It is of the opening scene from The Godfather...my favorite movie.

I love this.

Jabberwocky:

Scriveyn · 01-14-2009, 08:20 AM

How about making a game of it?

Can you guess/find out the title and author of the poem?

Shawnee123 · 01-14-2009, 08:22 AM

Great idea. Song lyrics and artists would work too!

No idea what yours is.

dar512 · 01-14-2009, 09:26 AM

@Scrivyn -- I was able to find it by searching on "poem celia bark groves". I won't give the answer here in case some of our more literate dwellars can come up with it off the top of their heads.

dar512 · 01-14-2009, 09:27 AM

@Shawnee -- the Jabberwocky was a great idea. I've saved it.

Shawnee123 · 01-14-2009, 09:28 AM

Scri/dar: Is it like a Wordsworth or Keats or the like?

Thanks Dar...I thought the interesting words would look neat. Would make a great poster!

Scriveyn · 01-14-2009, 09:55 AM

It is British and obviously a few centuries old, but a little known poet. His first name is Thomas - "Celia" is a dead giveaway
