You can adjust the fonts and colours within the pre-set limits. The program (here) does allow you to identify and give prominence to words but I couldn't quickly figure out how to do that in the context of so many words (I'm sure there is a way but I wasn't able to intuit how). Still I really like this program and the idea of having a "Joy Cloud".
Originally I started this blog with the intention of helping me remember that there are many things for which I can be joyful even though a lot of what I've had to deal with over the years really sucked.
This cloud would be a nice visual way to help me remember some of the joys in my life. I can always tweak my list and make more lists for printing and meditating upon.
What do you think dear reader? Do you think a cloud like this would be helpful to you, or do you just see it as a messy piece of words that would give you a headache? We all learn and remember differently I know. What is appealing to one is not necessarily appealing to another person.
If you want to give it a try visit Jan's blog here and see what she has to say about how she is using the "joy cloud".

Hehe cool ... when I looked at your Joyful cloud the first thing that I saw was 'waterfalls' ...
... please do tell more ...
He he, I love water of all kinds...waterfalls give off a refreshing mist, don't you find? I'd love to see your "Joy Cloud".
Love the idea, must try it. My pleasure in waterfalls is the desire to run in and stand under them, the heavier the better (within reason, that is), and be able to go inside the waterfall where there is no water, just the curtain in front of you. And to swim in the pool it forms...
That was a nice mental break from a very boring morning's work. Back to reality!

I'm going to have to make a Joy Cloud. Looking at the words are appealing to me.
Pat
Wonderful.
That sounds good too! I'm glad you find the word cloud a nice mental break. I quite like it myself.
Wonderful!
Cool, eh?
Loving all of your joyful things on your joy-cloud penny. As you say, we can just keep on adding, there is so much in the world to feel joyful about. I also noticed waterfalls first. It reminded me that I'd missed waterfalls from my cloud lol! I love how bold and clear all of your words look.
Thank you, Jan for introducing me to this wordle and the joy cloud ;-) I really love it. I played around with the "randomization" button until I got what I wanted.
I love your joy cloud.
Thank you, Denise.
Love it too! I wish I was still in school when I saw this post. I had tried making a word cloud for one of my projects but couldn't find how to do it. Thanks for this. I should make one soon.
I'm glad you like it. I do hope to see a cloud on your blog soon ;-)
Beautiful, colorful and joyful. I think I'll try making one myself some time when I'm not so busy.
Thank you, Pat. I am more busy than usual but made one anyway. Sometimes a busy time is a good time to get things done, lol!
Dear Friend,
I think it's great, Maybe I would give it a try with bible verses or chapters. You did a great job, and a great topic, JOY!!!! me
Hi Brenda, it would be difficult to do with bible verses unless they are very short or if you just put the reference and maybe 1 word to remind you what it is about. The wordle program uses words, not sentence or chapters. You can use phrases if you put a hyphen between the words. God bless!
