As a web designer, before i ship the design i will usually show it to my client and make any final changes. So, i may need to fill in the content with some “lorem ipsum” aka dummy text so that the client will have clearer picture of how the design will look like.
I believe every designer will have their own lorem ipsum content. And i saved my lorem ipsum content into a text file, so that i can copy and paste them whenever i need. Recently, i had found some cool lorem ipsum or random text generators which i think are interesting and would like to share with my readers.
Without talking much, let’s see these 8 useful lorem ipsum and random text generators:

I think that you forget wich is the best one for me, LOREGEN (http://loregen.com). It generates images, pdf and obviously dummy text. At now I think that’s under internationalization process because it recently added the spanish language.
