This is a neat little site that allows you to enter a block of text and it will create a "word cloud" based on what words are sensed as most emphasized, important, etc. On a whim I entered the text of our membership renewal letter, scheduled to mail at the end of the month ... the results were not only exactly what I'd hoped, but really pretty to boot!

That is really cool! Wish it were a little bigger, so I could read all the words! Will you be using it in some way?

You can actually click on it and go to the website which has the bigger version. I can't figure a way to use this one ... but I can see future applications, like creating one for the cover of the invitations for next October's Gala or something.

I evidently need something to 'read' the Applet tag. I'll have to get one of my computer nerds to do it.

I think it would make great cover art for a booklet or invitation!

That is pretty neat!

Makes me wonder what song lyrics would look like with that.

www.Wordle.com ... That would be cool, with a favorite song! Mark and I did one last night with his most recent self-report and it was neat. You can change colors, fonts, alignment, etc ...
