What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is a mixed text used in the typesetting and printing industry. Lorem Ipsum has been used as the industry standard forged text since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a gallery of fonts and scrambled them to create a type specimen book. It has not only survived for five hundred years, but has also made the leap into electronic typesetting without much change. It became popular in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software such as Aldus PageMaker that included versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Why Do We Use?
It is a known fact that a duplicate page content distracts the reader. The purpose of using Lorem Ipsum is to increase readability by providing a more balanced distribution of letters compared to constantly typing 'text here, text here'. Currently, many desktop publishing packages and web page editors use Lorem Ipsum as their default mig text. In addition, when search engines are searched with the keywords 'lorem ipsum', many sites that are still in the design phase are listed. Various versions have been developed over the years, sometimes accidentally, sometimes on purpose (for example, with humor).
Where Does It Come From?
