Does anyone else use this for example text in their designs? I find it useful because you dont have to type out a jumble of stuff just to test things out. If you dont know what Lorem Ipsum, or "Lipsum", is its this large amount of latin (I think) text that most designers use to use as demo text. You can easily get the text, and find more info from here: lipsum.net

I use quite often but only when I don't have any content written already. Real original content > Lorem Ispum.

I used to struggle coming up with random crap, so I resorted to Lorem.

I used to struggle coming up with random crap, so I resorted to Lorem. In my side tables code I wrote "We LOVE side tables" over and over again xD

Luke and Kim, your ways although very enthusiastic, they don't really help with testing how a chunk of text will look, as it's all the same, and will be formatted the same on each line. Lorem ipsum randomizes words, to allow varied lengths, meaning everything is tested. For instance, typing just "LOL" repeatedly could theoretically avoid the testing of any padding or margins you've added to the code.

Usually I would just type a whole load of rubbish but with spaces too. Now I use this, but mainly in codes...

Graphic design is when this is used properly. Then web development.

I use it when I'm designing layouts, in Photoshop.

Fair enough, all criticism goes to Luke.
