A quick graph for online display — used to be there was no such thing; graphing was tedious, and the software took a while to learn, too. Most of us didn’t bother, or tried to think up work-arounds. So graphs were often omitted from online reports, not to mention blogs. Graphing software was complicated and cumbersome. But no more! Enter CRAPPY GRAPHS, the simplest of them all. This is laughably easy, free online, and the results are charmingly casual looking. I know, you are thinking, along with Dylan Thomas, “Oh, easy for Leonardo!” But truly, I’m talking easy for Larry, Moe and Curly. See my stellar example. To make your own Crappy Graph, just follow this link, and then after looking at the examples (you can make Venn diagrams, too) click on the link at upper right that says, “create you own crappygraphs.” If you love this and tell me so, I’ll share a few slightly more sophisticated, but still easy-peasy free online graphing programs.

Unfortunately the crappygraphs.com website is down right now. Looks like fun!
Sally, thank you , thank you , thank you! The Crappy Graphs site IS up and it is a hoot. I am passing this around to others who get last minute requests for \just a simple graph.\ I cannot wait to use this with clients. ONLY, I hasten to add, as a joke while I am working on the REAL graph. Real graphs are an art as well as a science. I am working on my lifetime retirement investment graph–it looks roughly the shape of the Matterhorn. What I wish is that there were an easy-to-use program for serious graphs.
Judy, if I get one more positive comment on CrappyGraphs I will turn you on to more and better, “real”, but still easy, free serious graphing sites. So get a few friends to comment here, and you’ll see the next step in graphing next week!
I love this!
