Mom discovered these last night :) here's one of the ones she made...
And two others, sisters and cottage. Pretty mom :)
Go make a Wordle :)
You can print them...i think they'd make cool scrapbook paper :)
I had lots of fun doing these. Once I'd made one, I thought of other things I could add to it. To make some words larger or smaller, you need to type the word more times ex. Kennedy Kennedy Kennedy will type larger fonts where I typed BareToes one time and this was a smaller font, (words of importance larger) Also, if you have a 2 or 3 word grouping, I typed the 2nd or 3rd word with an uppercase and kept it all together such as BareToes. If you don't the 2 words will separate on the page. There are probably alot more things to learn about it but these were just a couple I found. Also MORE words is better than less, try it out. It's addictive, I was up till 1:00 last night.
oh, and i made one which is cool and i can see it being totally addictive. Questions? How did you get different fonts and different colours and the black background? I looked around the site but didn't see those options.
i did a screenshot OF the word bubble. here's 2 ways how to do a screenshot: http://frecklednest.blogspot.com/2007/05/cool.html and for the fonts and colors and stuff, once it makes you make your word bubble, along the top of the image, theres a few drop down menus and you can change it all there :) i suggest SAVING (copy and paste) your list of words before you go to make it...so that if you want to restart, you can just paste it in in...instead of trying to remember them all.
mom gave some good tips in one of the comments above, check them out :)
SHARE a link to your word bubble here if make one :)
Hi Tania-Momma here, when you go into wordle, click on create here and this is where you do all your brainstorming, (paste in a bunch of text)more is better, almost better to do on paper so you don't forget anything. Then click on submit. At the top left there is small blue banner that says edit/language/font/layout/colour. This is where you can change fonts, colours, etc. Up top I said how you can change the size of the font, typing the same word more times, tania tania tania will give a larger font, love love will give a bit smaller. Hope this makes sense. It is addictive. Have fun.
Dude, I so love you for posting this...I'm totally addicted to it now. Thanks a ton. Haha. I made one of my fave itunes (it's on my blog) and then I made one for Christmas cards...we are doing a christmas card circuit class thingy at my LSS and all the teachers are making cards to teach in a progressive style class where students go from table to table...it'll be fun and way more awesomer since you introduced me to wordle :}
Sorry, but I couldn't not post this on my blog...I'm a LA copy cat!
Oh yeah, forgot to add...you can customize the color combos too. Click on "edit custom color" under the color menu and then click on the blocks of color for a menu.
I did my iTunes one so that the multiple word phrases were all caps like...
thanks LA and Momma, this is the coolest thing ever. Mine is posted on their site. Wouldn't it be funny if we could figure each others out just by the things we know about each other. I am challenged when it comes to the whole screen shot thing as you know, but i will try.
I am so making one of those!! :) :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. Im Inspired again.
