The blank box means you may need a particular plugin - The Java one it wanted for me on Fedora would not auto install.

Sins and michael, you have to put text in the box, then choose colours of text, scheme, etc. then tell it to do its thing...it does get a little boring after a few times, but it's still neat to print out and hang up.

I created a couple of wordles. After 2 or 3 the thrill is gone. Now if one could list a lot of random words which wordle could turn into a coherent sentence, that would be impressive!

A bit pointless in my humble opinion.

Just playing with this web application to make word clouds. (Java has to be enabled for it to work)

Wordle

It is great fun putting song lyrics in, and some of the results are stunning.

Here is my word cloud for Northwest Passage (Stan Rogers)

Northwest Passage - word cloud

Looking forward to seeing some others created by other cats. Add them here so we can look at them.
