1. Go to wordle.net 2. Click on Create your Own. 3. You will be prompted to add text in the box. 4. *Note: words will need to be one on each line or a ~ mark in between to keep on the same line (example: Shelby~High~School) to keep the words together. 5. To make some words larger, post them several times. 6. Suggestion: Open Microsoft Word and type in your text on each line. Copy and paste some of those words on separate lines so you do not have to constantly retype the words. Also, if you do not like the set up on Wordle, you can start over without having to retype the words again. 7. Click Go and your word cloud will be generated. 8. To change colors, styles, and fonts, click on the tabs (ex. Font) to change until you find the style you like.
