Word Cloud

Have you ever seen those word clouds on websites ? Well I've discovered that you can create them using Wordle. You can point it at an RSS feed and it will generate one for you automatically. Here's one from the Lounge.

Can you explain how you point it at an RSS feed?

Goto the EDF Home Page.

Click on RSS link for your chosen section. The address should appear in your browser address bar, e.g. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/rss.php?5 for "General ED issues / gossip".

Select the address and do a control-c, or right-click copy.

Go to the Wordle web site, click on Create, in the box entitled "Enter the URL of any blog, blog feed, or any other web page that has an Atom or RSS feed." do a control-v, or right-click paste.

Click "Submit" and see what happens.
