Am I the only one who sees the words "dummy text" and immediately thinks of the Book of Mormon?

Nope. Not by a long shot.

Bond, lorem ipsum is the standard placeholder text traditionally used by typesetters and graphic designers. Its history extends at least back to Letraset in the 60's and is possibly much, much older (the most common lorem ispum text is based off of two works of Cicero). Adobe and Word have various lorem ipsum templates as does the popular blogging platform Wordpress.

The typography and design company, Veer, used to sell a lovely lorem ipsum cuff bracelet:

ldsfaqs is divorced, custody-less, and unsuccessful at his "business"? SHOCKER!!!


Sad the personal attacking you people do, as if you're on the intellectual and moral high ground. :(
Pitiful you people are as human beings! :(

1. My wife neglected our family in time and money destroying us financially trying to get rich with an MLM, in the Financial & Insurance industry of all things. My wife committed multiple adultery's with two different men. My wife went on vacation to Malaysia with my three little boys, a week before getting me fired from my job, a month later the cause of us loosing our home, and she didn't come back.

My wife did many bad things, while I was loving, supportive, but tried to encourage her to choose the right again, as well as Bishop's doing the same. "I" am not the failure at my marriage jerkwad!

2. I don't have custody of my kids ONLY because she took them to Malaysia, and she was the cause of me loosing my job, and also preventing me because of her actions getting into a proper career. Now that she's in Provo, and so am I and what the future brings who knows.

3. I'm not "unsuccessful" at my "business". I don't actually HAVE a business idiot. My websites simply show what I do and can do and hope to do in time. Also, what I DO do in those things, it's a side thing, not an actual "business". And I do quite well when I'm do those things on the side, primarily to help others not as money, save when I did work in those areas and fields.

Thus, as usual the warped and perverted liberal and anti-mormon mind bears false witness, lying of others to make themselves feel superior. Classic bully syndrome....

Sounds like you've gone through some difficult times. You might be more cautious sharing personal details with strangers on the internet, especially ones who are hostile to your POV in other areas.

Clearly you don't know anything about web design....
My sites are Wordpress Templates. When someone creates a Template, they use what's called "dummy text" as FILLER.

It's also done in other kinds of mediums, not simply websites.

Google search "latin filler websites" and learn something.

I simply haven't change THAT particular dummy text yet..... comprende???

Professional websites do not publish until all of the website is completed.

Its like opening a store before the construction is completed.

Well, since I'm self publishing, and I'm not actually officially "opening" anything yet (not doing ad campaigns, etc. etc.) I would say it doesn't matter, wouldn't you?

Further, it looks good on my resume.
