Blog #9: Word Clouds

I used Tagul.com for my first cloud. I went to www.ames.k12.ia.us and selected words from the website. I did this to follow the directions for the assignment. However, in Tagul, you can put in the URL for a website, filter the words (get rid of words like the, in, and, at, etc..) and create your cloud with a shape. I selected the square so it looked similar to some of the subway art that is now popular.

My second word cloud example is from tagxedo.com. This is a great website! You can use any of the provided shapes or upload your own shape and then use it to create your word cloud. Colors can be selected and the other thing you can do is invert the shape. I did not do that for this example. If I had, Herkey would have been white and the words would have appeared around the image. Definitely a very cool website!
