Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text used in the printing and typesetting industry. It has been the industry standard dummy text since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived five centuries and the move into electronic typesetting, and has remained essentially unchanged in all that time.

It is an established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a webpage when the designer really wants them to be looking at its layout and colour scheme. The reason for using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more or less normal distribution of letters, so it looks like readable English. This makes the page look more natural, does not distract the reader from what they should be looking at and is better than using temporary content such as 'Header here' or 'Some text here'.
Lorem ipsum is not simply random text. It is actually over 2000 years old and it has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC. Lorem ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of 'de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum' (The Extremes of Good and Evil) written in 45 BC by Marcus Tullius Cicero.
But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?
Marcus Tullius Cicero, the author of Lorem Ipsum, lived from 106BC to 43BC. He was a politician, lawyer, orator and philosopher in ancient Rome.
