Word!

Amity linked to a pretty cool website today called Wordle. On the website you can create your own images of words. One of the options (for the less creative and artsy people in the world like me) is to put in a link to your blog, and it makes the picture from there. The even more amazing thing about Wordle is that you can create as many pictures as you want and use them in any way that you want, as long as you give them credit. So go ahead, everyone can create their own art, even those of use who have only progressed to the stick people level! Thanks Amity!
