Great Wordle! The classes at Glacier Ridge create class pledges/promises. I think I will suggest this to teachers. I have done our school vision in Wordle. It's pretty cool.
Mary Lee, Here is a really stupid question. How do you move wordles from the wordle site to your blog? I tried saving it on my desktop, but then when I try to upload it, blogspot says the file is not recognizable. Carol
Here's how I do it: the screen shot gets saved on my desktop as a .png file. I open it, then do a "save as" and choose .jpg as the file format. Blogger will like it then.
