How to use Wordle

Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

I find it very useful to practice writing and to put some beauty in what you write. It is really useful to focus on vocabulary and grammar too.

In order to create a wordle you will have to:

       1. Go to **http://www.wordle.net/**

2.  Then choose the option CREATE your own.

3.  You will see a box where you have to write the text. Also you have the option to insert the text from your personal page.

4.  Once you have chosen the text you want to use, click on GO (if you had written the text) or SUBMIT (if you had insert the text).

5.  Remember that the page works with the latest JAVA program. So if you do not have it in your computer it is advisable for you to download it. You can do so from this page **http://www.java.com/es/download/**

6.  The next step is to modify the things that you do not like of the version that wordle offers you. You can change colours; you can change the prominence of the words; you can chance the font.

7.  Once you finish editing you wordle you have to click on SAVE TO PUBLIC GALLERY.

8.  You also have the option of printing it.

Here I leave you the one that I had made. Hope you enjoy it!
