I've been using Lorem Ipsum while doing my course, with my Chami HTML Editor. I dropped the course recently though as it's not 'me'... oh well 😄

I cant believe I read all that...What a waste of time..

I'll have to check it out but so far Dreamweaver rocks 🙂

Oh, definitely. But with the course I started Dreamweaver was something they suggested we avoid (not because it's evil, just because we were supposed to be learning coding from scratch). The main reason the course isn't something I'll be carrying on with is because a few years back I learned the basics of Dreamweaver, but this most recent course overlooked the use of Dreamweaver and I didn't know beforehand.

I still attempted the first section but it drove me nuts, doing everything basically. I just can't imagine myself spending my time in the future creating websites... I guess you could say that in doing the work so in-depth I've put myself off a career in web design shrug

I learned how to code my sites using Notepad and after the basics of HTML we started using Dreamweaver. Edit Plus is a good text editor that does the color formating for you, help keep track of your code.

What the hell is Dreamweaver?! firefirefireph

✅ The HTML Kit is just Notepad with extras 😂

pfft, lorem ipsum is not a plug in for dreamweaver. It was originally used by photographers and web developers to see how things would look with text attached. silly.

Yes it is a plugin, but they were not the original creators of the idea 😉

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.
