Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

Add YouTube Files to Your Web Pages Without Dreamweaver

One of the greatest strengths of using Web 2.0 applications like YouTube files with your DMXReady applications is that you never have to use Dreamweaver to insert them into your web pages. For example, here is a YouTube video we added directly into Landing Page Manager. As you'll see, this video is a handy overview on Google Docs:

Insert Your Own YouTube Video

1. Find the video you want to insert (www.youtube.com).
2. Copy the line of script in the "Embed" text box.
   
3. In Landing Page Manager, click on the "Edit Page" link at the top of the page (log in if necessary).
4. Scroll to the bottom to the WYSIWYG editor, and place your cursor in the middle of the table.
5. Click on the "View/Edit Source" icon on the WYSIWYG editor (looks like this: <>)
6. Paste the script into the source (Ctrl "V") and click the "OK" button, bottom right
7. Click the "SAVE" button on the WYSIWYG editor and view the page.
   

Using DMXReady applications as a CMS solution is especially handy if your company (or that of your client) produces their own YouTube videos for viral marketing, training, or some other reason. Now, anytime you want, anyone in the office can change the video or add new ones simply by adding the line of script that YouTube provides.

If you can surf the web, send an email, and cut and paste text, you can create this web page!
