30May Lorem Ipsum Generator
Did you noticed that when you preview a wordpress theme online, the content usually about Lorem Ipsum.
I always wonder, what is Lorem Ipsum ? I’m not really sure about the real meaning but it’s usually use to show or demonstrate of a page layout.
Lorem ipsum usually looks like this :
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Maecenas aliquam magna ultricies libero lacinia tempor eu nec ipsum. Cras eget feugiat est. In pharetra, velit id iaculis luctus, augue ligula posuere eros, aliquam feugiat mi mi at nibh. Mauris sollicitudin sem eget turpis tempus quis lacinia quam adipiscing. Donec vitae eros non mi dictum tempus. Maecenas mauris tortor, ultricies id tristique quis, dictum vitae arcu. Nam sit amet nulla nisl. Praesent rhoncus enim rhoncus erat consectetur gravida. Aliquam erat volutpat. Sed pulvinar mattis velit vel dapibus. Curabitur ornare placerat ipsum, eu consequat neque gravida ac.
If you want to create your own Lorem Ipsum, there is online generator to create it.

I have wondered about that myself. You finally motivated to look it up. It seems that it has been around since the 15th century.
Here is a link with more info:

I have read on this nlog : http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2290/what-does-the-filler-text-lorem-ipsum-mean that the original reads, Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit . . . means (“There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain . . .”)
Sounds strange isn’t it? just read the blog above, it’s worth reading.

If that was the meaning, someone who had created it must be in pain! haha. It’s like we have to conduct an investigation.

Wonder who will have the time to do an investigation, unless of course you have a lot of time at your hands?

At first, I thought it’s something default content setting for all wordpress theme. Now at least I know that Lorem Ipsum has its own history in Latin literature. Interesting fact.

I will never take notice it if you didn’t bring that up. Thought it was auto generated (Default entry) for WordPress themes.

I think that other resources for generation lorem ipsum are better. For example this generator of lorem ipsum seems better because it offers control over html tags and some other functions like select all and direct copy to clipboard.
