What MAFL Is All About

I do go on a bit.

But, what do I go on about most? That's something that a word cloud could answer, and these can now be readily created for any corpus of text using the fine wordle website. So, I exported the entire contents of the MAFLOnline website as an XML file, fed it to wordle, deleted the "words" in the resulting word cloud that were actually HTML tags, and wound up with the following.

By default in a word cloud, the height of a word is proportional to its frequency of appearance in the corpus being summarised, so you can see that I talk a lot about "teams" and "games" (in the singular and the plural) and about "points" and "probability". 

(I actually don't talk that much about Squarespace, but I left it in the word cloud as an acknowedgement and expression of gratitude to the company that provides the software and bandwidth for this site. Also, because some words are both used as HTML tags and are also likely to be on high rotation in my bloggery - line, last, table and strong, for example - the sizes for these tags might be slightly overstated.)

While I was about it, I thought I'd also produce tag clouds for the more-recent content only on the Wagers and Tips, Statistical Analyses and Team Dashboard blogs. I let you make what you will of these.
