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.

Sometimes you know the colors you want to use for a design and sometimes you don’t. For those times you really aren’t sure you can use a nifty little tool such as Color Schemer’s Online Color Scheme Generator.

Even if you know a few colors you want to use, but not what colors would look best for accents, you can use the color scheme generator and save yourself lots of time wasted by selecting multiple colors. You can see right on the screen how it will look, how it contrasts with your existing colors, and even see other recommendations that you never would have thought went together.

This is one tool you should bookmark, it comes in handy.
