- What about this?
- Are you here?
That's enough for now.
Ok, I'm going to type a bunch of meaningless stuff just to filll up the space. I want to do a test with an imbedded picture and see how that works.
Surprisingly, there is a very vocal faction of the design community that wants to see filler text banished to the original sources from when
ce it came. Perhaps not surprisingly, in an era of endless quibbling, there is an equally vocal contingent of designers leaping to defend the use of the time-honored tradition of greeking.
The argument in favor of using filler text goes something like this: If you use real content in the design process, anytime you reach a review point you’ll end up reviewing and negotiating the content itself and not the design. This will just slow down the design process. Design first, with real content in mind (of course!), but don’t drop in the real content until the design is well on its way. Using filler text avoids the inevitable argumentation that accompanies the use of real content in the design process.
