Communities in Control in a Wordle

Sat, 07/19/2008 - 09:26 — Simon Berry

No time to read the whole white paper? Here are the keywords in the Empowerment White Paper: Communities in Control in a single graphic.

EWP wordle

Produced using Wordle. The input text was from the core of the White Paper only. It excludes forewards and footnotes. The words 'will', 'can' and 'also' have been removed. Thanks to Steve Dale for drawing Wordle to my attention.

Wordle for forum topics

I've just used it for a really exciting (and now fairly long) forum thread in our community of practice here which you need to register for. Simon, how do you remove words from wordle (as I have got "posted" which comes up as very big!)

Excluding text from Wordle

Hi, I used raw text to produce this Wordle graphic and I excluded text by doing a search and replace on the text before submitting it to Wordle. I don't think there's an 'exclude word or phase' feature within Wordle so if you're submitting a url you won't be able to exclude stuff.Simon

removing words from wordle

....wordle may have refined itself since you posted, but I played with it recently and was able to remove words. Its in one of the drop downs at the top beside changing shape and font etc.
I did find that de-capitalising words and 'touching up' the text in word helped though.
