TAG CLOUDS

Today you'll play with a web-tool called tag cloud.

We can use tag clouds to know how often words are repeated in a text; we can visualize word frequency.

It's very easy to use; you just have to copy a text and paste it in the site and, after that, copy the embedding code and paste it in a post to be published in your blog.

Here's one of the sites you can use: http://www.wordle.net/

• Go there and click on "create".
• You can either choose to give your blog's url or paste the text of one of your post -your description for example.
• Once you've done it, you can choose the colour, font, layout (horizontal, vertical), etc. You'll find these option on top of the word cloud.
• Save it.
• Get the code where it says "Paste this code into your blog or home page to link to this Wordle:"

I've created a word cloud with 3rd year's blog. Look!
