Online chart builder; create picture or embed into website

One of the key activites for an improvement leader is displaying data graphically through the use of charts. While most of us are comfortable using the regular software packages like Microsoft and in some cases more sophisticated stats packages, sometimes we need something a little different.

I've been looking for ways to embed charts into my website - or blogs. Of course these can be embedded as pictures though this is less flexible. Also, how do I create a chart when I am using my netbook with web access and no software on it?

There is an online charts builder at http://charts.hohli.com. It takes a little while to wrap your head round it, but if you follow the instructiosn it is quick, easy and very flexible. I'll be using it as a way to create embeddable charts and as an alternative to PC based software.
