Content is not there to just "fill space". Content is the reason people are coming to a website. Long written content, like blogs, is important to keep in mind when designing for some projects.
For me, I often design WordPress themes, which relates to blogging. Using real content like this is better than just having fake text that isn't even in the language a client will be using.
Ideally I wouldn't use filler text at all, but using at least actual English words prevents me from viewing the content as just something to "fill the space".
- viraptor 15y ago> Content is not there to just "fill space". Not what I said. Filler text is there to fill space when you don't have the proper text - it's useless, it doesn't have meaning, it's likely to change in the next 5 minutes. Real content is there to be on the final version.
