Use WordPress Dummy Content to choose and develop themes

Shalin Tejpal Jain August 8, 2011 0

If all about economics boils down to the problem of choice, choosing a wordpress themes is no different. There are thousands of themes out there – free as well as paid ones. And that is where the problem lies when you are choosing a new theme. The questions that you quite often encounter then are:

  • how will this theme look when there is a lot of content.
  • what changes I can make in the look and feel of the theme so that it suits my needs.
  • how will this theme look with elements like bulleted lists, floating and featured images, blockquotes, several categories and tags, etc.

And then what you do is write a few sample posts with titles and bodies like ‘Trial Post” and “Testing a wordpress theme”, respectively. But I’m sure that won’t give you a fair idea of how the theme will look. Moreover, that is also not a good idea from search engines’ point of view. However, finally we have a solution for it.
