The other day Sam Brunson posted a Wordle at some other blog, Visualizing Conference, October 2014. Sam combined all the text from all the talks at the recent conference, and created a single Wordle. Check it out – it won’t surprise you which words were used most often (the largest ones in the cloud).

Commenter “A Happy Hubby” said “It would be interesting to see a daily word map of the bloggernacle.”

I’m not about to do it on a daily basis (frankly, I don’t think it would change as much as we expect), but I did do it for one day, November 14, the day that Sam posted his cloud and the day that “A Happy Hubby” suggested we map the Bloggernacle. (Methodology explained below the image.)

Here, my friends, is a picture of the Bloggernacle on November 14, 2014. It is what you expected?

I compiled the text used in all the posts dated November 14, for these blogs (some blogs didn’t post at all; some posted multiple times):

Amateur Mormon Historian

Benjamin the Scribe

By Common Consent

Exponent

Faith-Promoting Rumor

Feminist Mormon Housewives

Juvenile Instructor

Keepapitchinin

Millennial Star

A Motley Vision

Segullah

Times and Season

(Not that these are the only blogs that make up the Bloggernacle, but they seem to get the most traffic overall, and, for the most part, I like ’em.)

I also compiled comments made on November 14, on the same blogs, for all posts published between November 10 and November 14. That was a little harder on blogs like Faith-Promoting Rumor and Feminist Mormon Housewives that thread their discussions, but if I made any mistakes I don’t think they would affect the outcome.

I deleted the words November, comment, reply, share and pm which are mostly generated by the blogging software and which are so common that they would have skewed the result (like pm, am is also software-generated, but Wordle.net eliminates it from the result because it ignores common little words like the verb am).

(I feel like Ziff, explaining my “methodology” this way!)
