So, I came across this fun site where you can get it to examine a website for its most used words and assemble that data into a kind of word-pile, with the words represented as bigger dependant on how often they are used.

I tried it on the Noddegamra blog.

For bonus points, try guessing the top four words before going to the URL. Answers in the spoiler below.

I think it's based on the blog "tags", which are hideously organised to a point where they just.. aren't.



On a side note, I've been seriously considering giving the main site a complete overhaul and more refined focus. Basically a home page with stuff like "quote of the month" and maybe the return of "goonie of the month" or "picture of the week". Something silly. Alternatively to the picture, could have "best of the board", a bit similar to the wat b3ta.com does it.

Also I'd have headings/navigation links such as: Home, Forum, Features, Comics/Artwork, Guild, and Support.

The features page would most likely contain the random bits for when I feel like writing, and the comics would probably only be added once I've actually done some. The guild section will feature guild events/news, a visual "who's on ventrillo" like on the wow forum now, some useful links, and other bits and bobs like bank access etc.

But yes, anyway, it would be nice to keep things simpler. The main focus/point here is the forum. I think the main site should only really be a front to guide people here and highlight some of the best points.

I don't think it is. I looked at the tags on the wp-admin site and they don't match up.

For example, the word "decided" and the name "Christian Bale" don't appear as tags, but yet they appear in the word cloud.

maybe you only see your tags? I've added them a few times.

I'm not entirely sure how it works, but xbox 360 should be really high. I also did it for the forum and apparently the most used word is "transformers". lol - I'm not too sure how accurate it is..

Still, there's some pretty interesting words in there  Cheesy
