2. How to create a Wordle
Wordle is a fun way to create word clouds from text.
You can type in text or paste text in. The more you
repeat a word the bigger it becomes in the completed
Wordle. You can tweak your clouds with different
fonts, layouts and colour schemes.
You are able to print, publish to the public gallery,save
or embed your wordle in your blog.
Your blog may also be embedded into a wordle.
