I couldn't include any text in the post below, for some reason, so here are the explanatory notes.
The pictures are 'word clouds' created on the site Wordle (and thanks to Natalie for the link). You type in words or the url of a blog, etc. and Wordle makes the cloud which you can then customise. I had a play and made four. The top one is the result of submitting this blog's url, the middle two are random words, while the bottom one is formed from a book review I've just written (If you click on them you'll get a bigger version). Just a bit of fun!

They are fun aren't they?
I had a terrible job making them work as stand alone items on the blog, importing as images, sending them to myself so I could put them into iPhoto and finally transplanting them. I'm not sure why I bothered with all the kerfuffle, flickr works just as well. I guess I'm just a stubborn type who gets the bit between her teeth!

Yes, I had a bit of fun with this too.
Months ago I signed up to Blog A Penguin Classic having read about it on your May 02 posting 'Pick up a Penguin'. Well I drew The Analects (sayings of Confucius). It took months to arrive and came when I was on holiday. However, to stop my conscience bothering me, I finally finished my so-called review today. As a bit of light relief I used some of the text from this work and had a go at Wordle. I definitely think my Wordle Cloud of Confusion, sorry ... Confucius ... is much the superior work!

I seem to be on a "make a card" kick this evening. The second one from the bottom, in particular, would make an excellent card for cornflower, don't you think? I can't seem to make any of them enlarge for clearer viewing but that one stands out right away.
