Word Fun

LoL!! I have been looking for this site for a couple of months now and then what do I see on Ali's blog this morning??!! Wordle!! I was using it about once a month for awhile there and then the marble that held that information must have jumped ship, because suddenly I couldn't remember it at all. Thank goodness for such an awesome blogging community!! :>


I like plugging in my blog's url once in awhile. It only takes the words from that page (at least that's what it seems to do!) and so its fun to see what words you are using the most (as the ones you repeat are larger in the Wordle cloud) at that time. And it most definitely makes me happy to see that I use the word 'smile' a lot!!

While nosing around, I stopped in at the Wordle Blog and found this post on how to make Wordle safe for educators to use in the classroom (in other words, how to keep inappropriate words from kidlets' eyes and use Wordle as a learning tool). And for any of you Star Wars fans out there, here's a fun little post to check out!! Have fun! :>

  11. What a fun idea to use Wordle to "check" your blogging. I used it once for a term paper on word frequency lists and loved to play with each and every text I could think of LOL Have a wonderful weekend, Karen! :-)
