Ever wonder where all that Lorum Ipsum stuff in website templates comes from?  Well…it's been used for an extremely long time by printers and publishers to verify that a layout will look fine once the final text is put in.  It's Latin (which most of us can't read) and won't distract the person viewing the overall layout.  Having common recognizable words distracts people.  Lorum Ipsum text also has the same appearance as normal text so it gives a very good indication how your work will look with real content placed in it.

The Lorum Ipsum tool is great, it generates Lorum Ipsum type text for your website.  You simply tell it how many words or paragraphs you need and it puts it up for you to copy and paste into your site.
