Use Wordle to create a word picture of your blog

They say a picture’s worth a thousand words. So today, for your viewing enjoyment, here’s a picture of this blog.

The image comes courtesy of Wordle, a Website that creates word clouds from text that you give it, or in this instance, of all of the words I’ve ever written in this blog. You can see a bigger version of the image here.

I love this image because it captures the subjects I write about and the issues that concern full-time freelancers. But I especially love that it shows LinkedIn in a great big font, since I write a lot about how freelancers can use the business network to find publishers, keep track of sources and reshape their careers on this blog and on my freelance message board.

Thanks to freelance writer Charmian Christie for writing about Wordle on her food blog, Christie’s Corner. You can see Charmian’s Wordle creations here.

    Love your Wordle! As a regular reader, I also thought it was fitting to see such a large font for “Linked In.”

    What I’d like to knoe is hoe you got all the words on your blog in one place. Did you have to copy and paste each post, or is there a shortcut?

    …uh, what I’d like to *know* – not *knoe* – and *how* – not *hoe*! 🙂

    The way Wordle works, you input the URL of your blog and Wordle uses some type of software program to arrange them on a page. If you don’t like the words it generates you can input your own set of random or related words and see what happens.
