"Welcome to the fourth post in this exciting Word Cloud Series. Last time I gave you nine Word Cloud Generators and promised you that the next post would have one of my favorites...Tagxedo."

Tagxedo states it is "Tag Clouds with Style." It provides custom shapes and themes, lots of fonts, the ability to save your 'word cloud' as a PNG, JPG and IMGUR image file and much more. No user log-in is required. And there is a link to a slide show of 101 Ways to use Tagxedo. If you like word clouds or are thinking of using them in your classroom this post will provide great information.
