Wanna be a “cool” web designer? start by using the right Lorem Ipsum text.

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

As I can see doing some Google searching, there's a lot of people using the wrong lorem ipsum text (direct example).

The Lorep Ipsum original text has a purpose, explained in the main website:

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.

But this is not the text you have to copy, there's a button below to generate it! if you do a "quick search and stats" you'll see that the 10% of people are doing it wrong.

The right Lorem Ipsum text is hidden here!

If you install with the Unified Installer, of course!

1.- Download Plone 3.3 Unified Installer

3.- And that's it, run the instance and within 10 seconds you'll have Plone up and running
