What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum
has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown
printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has
survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining
essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset
sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing
software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content
of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has
a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here,
content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages
and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search
for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions
have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected
humour and the like).
