Love it!
How did you make some words bigger and others smaller? I couldn't find a function to emphasize single words.
-
That is cool, but I have only just learned how to do the hugs. !!!
-
I'll have to try this...it's beautiful!!

Wordle sizes the words by frequency used in the text you submit. I submitted the whole text of the short story Brokeback Mountain. So you can see the two most used words in the story, and then the next most, etc.
The one I made above is with the following settings:
Font: Beryllium
Mostly horizontal
Alphabetical
Rounded edges
The 200 most frequent words
I kept reclicking "Re-layout with current settings" til I got one I liked particularly.
It's fun.

I just read the website some more. If you click on 'Advanced' near the top, it discusses how to to do that selectively.

Does it just last a little while? It seems to be gone now! :(

Very cool, Elle.
Thanks for the link.

Hi Lee, not sure what you mean. That is the site where I made the design. The only way I found to keep the design is to do a capture, then turn it into a jpg. I'd love if someone could figure out a simple process.

Very cool, Elle.

Cool, Fran. In reading a little more of the advanced stuff on the site, I saw that if you put a tilda between two words you want to stick together, like "Del~Mar", it will come out looking like "Del Mar," not "Del" one place, and "Mar" another.

I created a lovely "dozy embrace" passage, but couldn't master the screencap technique. >:(

I have a thing on my mac called "Grab" that is easy to use. I don't know how to advise someone who doesn't have that. I want to see your art, Paul!

What you could try is "Save as ..." with the whole site, with a bit luck, you get a screen cap of everything, then you could cut out the art with a picture editing programm. I haven't tried it myself with the Wordle page yet, but I've done it with other websites.
Guess it's similar to Elle's "Grab" function.

Yes, yes and yes!!!! That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much :-*

I was following the ABC game rules, where "del" and "Mar" are treated as separate words. ;D
Seriously, Elle, thanks for the tip. Here's the re-do:

Those two are wonderful juxtaposed with each other. One, just coping, the other, the best moment ever.

Wow, yes! Thanks for finding it, Fran. I think you Mac users have an easier time!

I love them! Yay Fran for finding Paul's!

Maybe this will help you figure out the screen caps:

It has a video tutorial, which I bet will be an enormous help. Good luck.

I made two, which, as we all know, belong together:

Heavy usage of Elle's tildes in this one:

Thanks, Fran. Turns out Vista (yeah, I know...) has a "snipping tool" that is practically automatic.
So, I made another dozy embrace, to test it out:

But this one I made was from their last day together, beginning when Ennis said he couldn't get away again until Nov to the dozy embrace.
I love this website! So artsy!

Wow, this is really cool, I would like to play with it sometime.

Oh David, that is wonderful. And Helena, thanks for your comment - it made me look a little harder at it, then, I, too, recognized it.

On the chance of seeming stupid - I don't get it. No idea what text it is from. Someone enlighten me?

Not stupid, just not religious. It's from the bible: Ecclesiastes 3. Pete Seeger adapted it into a popular song, "Turn, turn, turn", covered by the Byrds.
There are numerous different translations, but here's one:
Ecclesiastes 3
American Standard Version
1For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:
2a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.

Here's a sweet version with Pete Seeger and Judy Collins, from 1966:

Beautiful, both the bible verses as well as the song. Thank you Paul.
I've known the Byrds version for many years, and always liked it. But as with all music I discovered as a young teenager, I know only parts of the lyrics. My English wasn't good enough to understand much then, and there was no internet, nothing where you could look lyrics up. I remember searching the library for books on music, just for lyrics in them. There was a Rock encyclopedia I lent time and time again, because it had plenty lyrics in it. And the joy of finding out a friend had a certain MC with a booklet including the lyrics! :) Strangely enough, LPs never had lyrics with them, but MCs often did.
Anyway, I really didn't have a chance to know it's based on bible verses, that's right. But I know enough of the lyrics that it's clear as a bell, now that I know the connection of course. :laugh:

Did you know that our own Ellemeno was actually the person who started Wordle, way back when? It was meant as a gift to Brokies everywhere!
-
Wow! I had totally forgotten about this.
It was a lot of fun to play with.
Sadly, the website is long gone. I wonder if it morphed into something else.
-
Of course, all these years later, there are tons of these "word cloud" sites. This one is wordart.com. It takes some practice!
I just re-made the dozy embrace:

This is moving and, in places, funny. A beautiful word cloud design!
