  Whenever I click the ‘see it in action’ button on interesting new themes, the text is always this ‘lorem ipsum’ nonesense. Why????

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi. From http://twentytendemo.wordpress.com/2009/07/27/layout-test/ …

  Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

  That’s what you’ll see on demo blogs, which are not actual blogs obviously.

  If you are looking for actual examples of blogs using this or that theme, you’ll find them under “Who’s using this theme?” Example:
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/vigilance/

  Or simply Google it, by typing for example:

  site:wordpress.com “Theme: Vigilance by The Theme Foundry”

  Because that’s the standard way to display some image that contains text and has been for several centuries.

  If you want to see YOUR text in that theme, go to your own dashboard Themes and click Preview.

  You’re welcome. It ALWAYS looks different with your own stuff in it.

  I checked that ‘preview’ feature you mentioned. Much better!
