Pat’s Point of View

I’ve been using Wordle.net quite a bit lately for communicating research results, and I thought I’d give it a go for all my blog posts:

I was a little surprised, but pleasantly, to see the biggest words were “people” and “can”. Fairly high up there were “web”, “design”, “usability” and “information”, which is kinda good since I’d like to think that’s what I’ve been blogging about.

How did I do this? Well, I didn’t want to use a tag cloud plugin, so I used the WordPress export feature to create an XML dump of all posts and pages, extracted the CDATA fields, stripped all the HTML tags using regex in HTML-kit, then pasted it into Wordle :)
