At a loss for words?

At a loss for words? I may have a solution for you!
If you’re a web designer and you’re not familiar with the Lorem Ipsum language, then shame on you!
Wikipedia explains Lorem Ipsum as “placeholder text (filler text) commonly used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation, such as font, typography, and layout.” Basically, this gives designers one less thing to worry about, so as not to get in the way of the creative process.
If you don’t like doing a search online for “Lorem Ipsum”, finding the right amount of text needed, and then copy/paste into your design every time you need to use Lorem Ipsum, then you should download Loremify. This widget allows for quick and easy grabs of the perfect amount of text for your need.
Tobias Bjerrome Ahlin is the 21 year old interface designer who developed this awesome tool, and he describes it as follows:
“Loremify is a one-click tool to copy Lorem Ipsum. It lets you wrap in html, specify the amount of text, and copy it to your clipboard—all in one click.”
