This month's entries come to you in the form of tag clouds, as first seen on Flickr. The larger the word, the more times it appears in that entry. Apologies to Twanny for the loss of Maltese characters!

Previous Karnivals: l-ewwel, it-tieni, it-tielet, ir-raba', il-hames, is-sitt, is-seba', it-tmien, id-disa', l-għaxar.
Your creativity amazes me. Your themes for the karnival are always orignal. As always proset...esp for the post of penetrating the glass ceiling...I thought that would be a tough one but it was something I really wanted to write.
Anyway, great job...Cya

You never fail to amaze me...this is really great! So how do you go about creating these tag clouds?

Toni, most tag-cloud-generators are designed to be pointed at RSS feeds for your blog, or you input a blog address - then they generate the cloud based on the content of the ENTIRE blog.
I finally found one that only does the page that you send it to rather than a feed or an entire site, and it's called Keyword Density Checker.
The problem was that if I pointed it at your post, it would also include your sidebar, and the comments - so I put each person's post content into an html file, uploaded those files to my host, and then pointed the Density Checker at them. Then copied the results into a word processor, changed the font to a sans-serif for coolness, adjusted the zoom until the paragraph was a suitable size, did a screen capture, pasted the screen capture into MSPaint, cropped, saved as a .bmp, opened in another graphics program so I could save as a .jpg without it being too lossy, and finally uploaded the result into my host...
You see what I said about it being a pain? ;-)
If you are interested in creating a tag cloud for your blog (I am, just busy at the moment) then I suggest you google for "tag cloud", there's several cool generators.
