What I Blog About October 5, 2008
Posted by Laura Thomas, ABC in General, Social Media Tags: blogging, wordle.In getting ready for Blog Action Day coming up next week, I noticed that while they ask everyone to blog about poverty, they also say: “We ask bloggers to try to keep their posting related to their regular blog topic so that posts are individual, suited to their audience and look at the issue in many different lights.”
That got me to wondering. What is my regular blog topic? I tend to ramble on about whatever strikes my fancy, so there really is no particular theme to this blog.

They say the size of words in your Wordle is proportional to the number of times the word appears in the input text, but I’m not so sure. Seems to me (based on having done a few of these over time between different posts) that how recently a word is used must have some impact. Because, I mean, did I really say “challenged” that many times in the last post?
To see what I mean, compare today’s Wordle above, with this one from August 28:
So, I still don’t feel like I’ve got a grasp on just what my blog topic really is - do you?
