My Surname Visualization
Once upon a time I tried to use Wordle, but I could not get the image to show up on my blog. I also tried this time around to use Word It Out for the GeneaBloggers Games, but that didn't work either. Apparently I have to do some sort of screen capture thing to get the image, and Daughter #2 did tell me how to do that, but I have decided to do the easy thing: use Image Chef, which gives you the option of saving the image to your desktop. Full disclosure: I have used Image Chef before to make a surname visualization that I posted on this blog. This is a new one, but I do not know whether it counts for the tally.
The figure is supposed to be a star, but to me it looks a bit more like a little guy with shoes on.

But they are cute shoes!
ReplyDeleteHah! You're right, Joan! I kinda think of it as "my little genealogy guy."
ReplyDeleteI agree with Joan! LOL
ReplyDeleteI had the same problem with Wordle, but finally figured it out. You do have to do the screen capture and then paste it into Paint. After I crossed that hurdle it was much easier. I saved as a jpeg and then into Blogger. I will admit to some choice language during the process... Oh if I had only known about Image Chef.
ReplyDeleteAnd they do look like feet!
I first saw it as a star! Thanks for telling me about ImageChef.com.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, Tracy, and Becky! I'll have to figure out the screen capture thing at some point, but for word visualizations I think I'll stay with Image Chef.
