I just found out about a cool web site called wordle.net.
It was featured on a CNN news report.... what I created was an image collage of words from copying and pasting in text of the Mudcat discussion thread on Gardening.

Here's the image.

Looking through the image for member names, Janie and P-Vine were repeated enough in the copy and paste that they show up in the collage.
Look closely, and you will also find BS.

~Alas, it does nothing but crash Explorer for me...

Shame... I was wondering what it would make of some of my thread titles....

Too many options to choose just one; I like them all!

I've been using Firefox lately. I switched mainly because Firefox seems to download certain pages much faster than IE does. I don't know why.

I also recently updated to Java Version 6 Update 13.

When I try to view one of the "Wordles", Firefox shows a warning message: "The application requires an earlier version of Java. Do you want to continue?" If I click "Run" the Wordle appears just fine. If I click "Cancel" there is no image.

So, if you're not seeing anything, I suspect it's either your browser, or the version of Java you have. Maybe IE doesn't give you a choice but cancels automatically?

By the way, I've created several Wordles, some based on Mudcat threads and some based on songs.

I did the java update in order to play with Wordle. Was working fine then suddenly I got the blue screen of death. I have not seen one of those in years. I will not go bakc to Wordle. There must be something wrong with the script.
