Once you go there, you should be able to click on my name to see others I've made too.  I did save some pics in case I couldn't link to there though…

They call them "Word Clouds" and I'll bet any of us could use the same sets of words and wind up with totally different 'clouds' 

Ok, I have a proposal.  If people make a wordle, and we ALL name it exactly the same thing, they will all show up under that name, but by different authors.  If we all use our Chicken Names to save, they will all show up together and we can all see what CitR means to us. 

Did that make sense?

I was naming all mine that were Chickens in the Road related as "In the Road" with a roman numeral designator, but I for this, we could all call them just plain CITR

I think there's a class project going on where a bunch of kids all made wordles called "animals" and it was very interesting to see what they all did, which is what made me think of this.

should we make a 'number of words' limit?  I could fill pages of stuff otherwise!  50 words maybe?

ROFL… I know you guys are sick of me, but if you go here http://www.wordle.net/gallery?……  you will see the wordles that Cindy and I created so far, and from there, if you play with the 'create' button, you can goof around with things and see what happens.

You can't hurt anything!  Of course, once you save something it cannot be deleted either, but that just means play play play till you have something you like before you save anything and if you make a Chickens in the Road related Wordle, save it with the USERNAME of CITR (all caps) and it will go in this gallery.

The save feature is totally unrestricted, there is no sign in, or login, and nothing is protected, but it is very safe because it will save no code either.

Anyone could save anything under any name, which is why we can all save things as one 'username'.

It IS nice!!!  Very nice!  but yeah, it's not in the CITR bunch so you'll have to make another one!  It seems so fluid to me because you can't ever recreate one exactly really.

I make a list in a word doc and work from that, but they never turn out the same even if you use the same list of words.

YAY!  And Farmgirlwannabe put one up too!  NICE!  See!  It's really pretty interesting what turns up in them. 

For anyone that is interested, putting a tilde, which is the ~ symbol, between words, makes them stick together, so Grandmother~Bread will show up on the wordle board together instead of getting broken up into two words.

I already said about putting a word in the list 2, 3 or more times makes them show up bigger and bigger, and you can fiddle with the colors, the font, and the general shape of the 'cloud' too.
