Blog Post #6

For today's blog, you're going to visit Wordle. You're going to basically make a collage of words, similar to the one that you see on the left. Follow these directions:

1. Once you get to the Wordle site, view some examples created by others (they have four samples on their main page)
2. Click on "Create Your Own."
3. Enter at least 30 words. These are just terms, not complete sentences. After you enter a term, press enter, type another word, then press enter again, etc.
4. Click on "go."
5. Once they have generated your word cloud, play with the layout. Experiment with different color schemes, fonts, orientations (horizontal vs. vertical, etc) and other options. Make it look nice! This is going on your blog!
6. Click on "Save to Public Gallery." Save it. Just enter some basic information here.
7. Copy the code from the bottom of the page. Open your blog, create a new blog post, click on "Edit HTML," and paste the code into the box. Don't forget a title :)
