I'm trying to get a few wordclouds, using the wordle web site (wordle.net). When I copy my text into their text box, and click "go", I get the message there is a blocked plugin. I've downloaded the latest version of java, and have enabled java in Safari>prefernces>security, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?
Thanks

I know this is an old question, but this process just got a lot more difficult with the most recent version of Java.

However, there are extra steps required to make Wordle work on a Mac, as the Wordle domain redirects to other domains when creating a Word cloud. To make it work, here are the steps (#1-3 are the same as listed on the link above).
1. Go to System Preferences (click the apple in the top left corner to get there).

3. When the Java Control Panel window opens, click on the "Security" tab.
4. In the "Exception Site List," add the following sites:
