Lorem ipsum, or lipsum as it is sometimes known, is dummy text used in laying out print, graphic or web designs. The passage is attributed to an unknown typesetter in the 15th century who is thought to have scrambled parts of Cicero's De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum for use in a type specimen book. It usually begins with:

“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.”

The purpose of lorem ipsum is to create a natural looking block of text (sentence, paragraph, page, etc.) that doesn't distract from the layout. A practice not without controversy, laying out pages with meaningless filler text can be very useful when the focus is meant to be on design, not content.

The passage experienced a surge in popularity during the 1960s when Letraset used it on their dry-transfer sheets, and again during the 90s as desktop publishers bundled the text with their software. Today it's seen all around the web; on templates, websites, and stock designs. Use our generator to get your own, or read on for the authoritative history of lorem ipsum.So when is it okay to use lorem ipsum? First, lorem ipsum works well for staging. It's like the props in a furniture store—filler text makes it look like someone is home. The same Wordpress template might eventually be home to a fitness blog, a photography website, or the online journal of a cupcake fanatic. Lorem ipsum helps them imagine what the lived-in website might look like.

Second, use lorem ipsum if you think the placeholder text will be too distracting. For specific projects, collaboration between copywriters and designers may be best, however, like Karen McGrane said, draft copy has a way of turning any meeting about layout decisions into a discussion about word choice. So don't be afraid to use lorem ipsumto keep everyone focused.

One word of caution: make sure your client knows that lorem ipsumis filler text. You don't want them wondering why you filled their website with a foreign language, and you certainly don't want anyone prematurely publishing it.

Lorem Ipsum

This area is a great place for spreading your message far and wide. To motivate an audience, write content that connects them to your ideas. Tell them how they can benefit and how their involvement can benefit others. You can also take this opportunity to talk about any other aspect of your business or project.

Creating separate pages for your story and your mission or project can add depth to your site and let visitors understand the nuances of your idea. You can also customize how visitors experience your site with style changes. These are edits to the look of your site, like fonts, colors, backgrounds, and spacing. You can make and preview style changes in the Style Editor. Each template's Style Editor has different options called "tweaks." Learn how to use this feature here.

The following is placeholder text known as “lorem ipsum,” which is scrambled Latin used by designers to mimic real copy. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus non ligula in ligula commodo egestas. Integer cursus egestas ex dapibus eleifend. Maecenas mi erat, condimentum ac blandit sit amet, dapibus a purus. Praesent iaculis rutrum sapien, quis congue ligula tristique vel.
