Try this: Word Clouds. Pick a chunk of prose, or a poem you've written, or a note from someone. Plug it into Word Cloud. Play with it (there are different fonts, colors, designs, even languages to try out; also, repetition of a word makes it appear as a bigger image within other words). Post it here to share. I used the Neruda quote about "words" that appears at the bottom of our blog, and did a quick screen capture* to get it here. Wordle also provides a way to link to their website to see your finished product.

*screen capture: clear your screen of all windows but the one you want to copy. Frame that image using resize tools on screen. Hit "print screen" key. Open up something like Microsoft Paint; hit "paste". Resize that screen as needed, save in My Pictures, and upload to blog.
