Lorem Ipsum for All
The phrase “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetuer” is a common textual place holder used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document, font or design layout. While the phrase appears to have the styling of a classic Latin passage it is actually nonsense.
Even though the phrase is nonsense, it has a long history and is not simply random text. During the 1500s, an unknown printer took a passage of latin text and scrambled it to develop a type specimen book. Surviving the last five centuries, the phrase has become the printing industries defacto fake or dummy text. It is used by typographers and printers to demonstrate the distinctive features of their typefaces and print layouts. The phrase more-or-less approximates the normal distribution of letters found in printed language giving a visual feel of the layout without distraction of the text having true meaning.

‘Branded Admin’ Plugin
Finally the Branded Admin Plugin has arrived. This plugin allows for the application of custom header and footer graphics to the WordPress Admin Section. It also removes WordPress links to better distinguish the site as a custom work and reinforce the sites branding.
I have provided screenshots below of the before and after Admin Dashboard page from my site. I designed two images to create the branding effect I needed. One in the header, reinforcing the header logo from the content side of my site and an icon logo in the footer. Nothing fancy but it carries the logo to the Admin pages very well.
