Hi Shai. I think your blog’s right on track as far as your Words of Life is concerned. I don’t think Wordle is entirely accurate. I think it only reads through the most recent posts. If a blog has a long history, such as the case of S Studio, I don’t think Wordle can quite capture its essence.

As far as I’m concerned (and I’m sure your other readers would agree with me too), you’re doing a great job at Words of Life!

I found my Wordle very telling – the biggest word by far on my cloud is “Time”. Of all the things I think about ‘time’ is definitely number one. Not enough of it, it is slipping by too fast, I spend too much of it worrying. I don’t know how in-depth the cloud is though because it rates Plurk and Ravelympics very highly yet doesn’t rate knitting/crochet/sewing at all, and they are things I have blogged about constantly for over 2 years.

Great article. I am definately going to try this. I hadn’t thought of using Wordle in this way before. Thank you very much for the inspiration!

The wordle program is so incredibly cool. And your second word cloud does represent your site much better than the first.

I like how the first attempt made you look more introspectively though. Keep up the fantastic work here.
