Yes but I'm "dieting" again.

Waste of time. Exercise is the only true way to keep weight off. Dieting will just do it temporarily unless you have the self-control of a Buddhist Monk. Do you? Well do you? Look at me. Yes I'm talking to you. Take a letter. Dear Fatfighters...

We all faith in you Scatterbrain, go forth into the big world of exams, with the full support of us BSG faithful and slice away at each question with your ink filled weapon. :D

:$ And thanks a bunch.

Scats! *poke*

Well then, how about a PDF?

Sure!

There's a "Print..." button below the Wordle area, on the left-hand side. Press it. You will be prompted to allow the Wordle "Java applet" to access your printer. Please check the checkbox that says "Always permit", and accept the dialogue.

On the Mac, you'll have to press the "Print..." button again. Boo.

Mac users can simply "Save as PDF" from their built-in printer dialogue.

Windows users will need to use third-party software to generate a PDF from the print dialogue. Adobe Acrobat is fine, but I happen to use the free-as-in-beer CutePDF Writer. I have no relationship to the folks who make CutePDF, nor do I take any responsibility for anything that might happen as a result of your using it. If you do use CutePDF, you'll also need to install Ghostscript, a free-as-in-speech PostScript interpreter.

The PDFs you make in this way are fully scalable, and suitable for making posters, T-Shirts, what have you. Please tell me about anything interesting you've done with Wordle.

Put some tracing paper over the screen and do a rubbing.

I edited it a bit though DaButt and would mebbe like a really big poster of it. Hmmm. There must be a company that turns PDFs into posters out there. *goes to look*

Looks like you can get a 20"x30" poster at a place like Walmart for about $20. I assume prices are similar for the UK; check stores that process digital photos.

I assume the product would be printed on photo paper and not regular paper stock. Having a single poster printed by a "real" print shop would probably cost $100 or more.

Turn it into a jpg (screen capture it if you can't), then try Asda or Boots. Both turn photos into posters so should be able to do it.
