For much of the morning, my blog featured this photo and a long string of “Latin” text. Oops.
I was testing out the “Blog this” function on Flickr. Rather than let the page sit blank, I added some “Lorem” passages… like these:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Nulla sem odio, sodales in, gravida ut, tempor vitae, lectus. Proin ullamcorper dictum magna. Ut a lectus. Donec ornare volutpat augue. Nunc id justo vitae leo viverra commodo.
Lorem is used as a convenience by designers because it looks like English from a distance (the distribution of letters and spaces, etc.), but has no words that might distract, or throw off the design.
Anyway, I put it in and then forgot to take it out!
actually, designers call it “greek text”, even though it is “latin”. Go figure, Lorem.
I was an altar boy and I couldn’t read any of it.
