I saw some training here some time ago regarding word clouds and a site called Wordle.

I use word clouds in my full time work, but Wordle no longer seems to work for me. I now use a different site, so thought I would share that here.

The site is called Tagul and can be found here: https://tagul.com

Step-by-Step

• Create a FREE account
• Login
• Click on 'Get Started'
• Click on 'Create new word cloud'
• Copy your list of words (with size or word count) from an external source, e.g. Excel
• Click on 'Import Words'
• Paste your list in the pop-up window and click 'Import words'
• In the Layout section, check the box that says 'Keep as is (don't repeat words)
• On the right side of the page, click the 'Visualize' button
• Your word cloud is now created

You can change various elements, sch as colours and cloud shape, but the whole process is very easy and creates an effective visual.
