Lorem Ipsum

18 November, 2008 (9:42 pm) | Web

Lorem Ipsum is a dummy text used in place of real content. It has been used since the 1500s as a way of showing how print or layout will look without drawing attention to the text. The Lorem Ipsum text looks like real text, and it is, in fact, derived from Cicero’s De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum (On the Ends of Goods and Evils).

You can use the Lorem Ipsum text yourself when you are designing your company’s new web site or the flier for the local sports club.

Lorem2 [via Lifehacker] lets you select between long and short paragraphs, and between long and short items in a list. It makes it very easy to copy and paste the text into your own document.

Lipsum is another Lorem Ipsum website. It asks you for the number of paragraphs, words, bytes, or lists, and then generates the Lorem Ipsum text for you.
