So here I am setting up a sandbox WP installation for testing plugins that I m writing. This wonderful little plugin just saved me hours of setup, giving me a full set of «real posts» and «real pages» to operate upon. Ten Stars!

The plugin works great to add placeholder posts. Unfortunately, the placeholder text it adds includes «funny» words associated with meat, such as «Tenderloin short ribs cow ground round, drumstick’s kielbasa burgdoggen doner chicken». I personally don’t care— but I wanted to show a demo to a client, and can’t do it with dummy content like this.

Finally a really useful plugin. You can select number of posts, post type, and other parameters to fill your database during development. Good.
