tagxedo - just for fun!

My friend Joanna in the UK mentioned a site called Tagxedo on her blog and showed us what she made there, a heart shaped image based on words plucked from her blog. I had to check it out . . . and try it! Here are 3 tagxedos (word clouds with style) I created from words on my blog -so fun!






thank you Joanna, of Fiddlesnips!

Go give it a whirl - you can do more involved things (these were done quite fast) like adding your own text, or even your own fonts and somehow adding a photo of your own for the Shape - I would have to read more on that option, but it looks very cool. Enjoy.

Isn't this Fun. I love the shapes you can make. There is a site here "http://www.wordle.net/", but as far as I know, there are no cool shapes like hearts and birds. I will have to try this Lenna. This for passing it around. You know I'm crazy for hearts, however LOVE the bird too. xoDonna

They look great Lenna! I really like the words Tagxedo pick out. On mine I was particularly amused to see it had picked out inappropriate, alongside other more worthy words. You featured on mine!

I had a little play last night and, by luck rather than intention, managed to produce an image of me as a school girl with school type words. They'd make great gifts, printed and framed, don't you think?

Glad you enjoyed having a little play.

yes, Nancy! I think it is kind of a fun diversion . . . I've enjoyed making them and saved a few. : )

this is sooo cool! I adore your word bird! If I ever get my blog up and running I'll give it a try.
