“Why haven’t we seen a photograph of the whole Earth yet?”
Here’s something that has frustrated me, and maybe some of y’all can advise me.
Several times, I’ve wondered what a word cloud of my whole blog — since I started it in 2009 — would show in terms of what has obsessed me over these last three tumultuous years. Or, more practically, what verbal habits I need to dial back on.
But all I can ever get, when I enter my URL, is a cloud made of the last few posts, as you can see above. That’s pretty useless. I mean, I know what I’ve written about today. What I want to see is what sort of result I get over time. That might actually tell me something.
Anyone know how to make that happen?

To do so, try this:

I look at the image above and the names Graham, Romney, Obama, and Knotts pop out. Man your word cloud has produced a pretty scary cast of characters…
