Overview on using Tagxedo

Tagxedo (http://www.tagxedo.com/) is a website where you can turn your words into fun shape clouds!  Best of all, it's free!

Once you are on the site, choose create:

The Tagxedo - Creator page is now opened.  Choose 'Load' (1)

You then have the option of entering a website (2) that you would like to create a word cloud for and then click on 'submit' or enter words or phrases (3) to create a personal word cloud and click on 'submit'.

When entering individual words, if you want a sentence to shape, do not put a space.

Once you have pressed 'submit', you can then customize color, theme, font orientation of the words & layout.  Once you have chosen a theme, font and/or orientation, you can then lock in your choices by selecting the lock.  If you want to change any of them later, just unlock it and make your changes.  You also have the option of changing the shape of the word cloud to one of the 30 shapes available.  Shapes can also be inverted.

Once you have completed your word cloud, save it!  You can share via Twitter, Facebook etc.  Once you have saved and closed the website, you won't be able to make any other changes.

 There is so many possibilities with this program, so go out there and have fun!

If you have any questions, send them to me and I'll try and help you out!
