"Greeking" the text of a web page lets you focus on the layout and check that the visual structure gives users the right kind of clues. In the past greeking a page has not been all that easy, but now all you have to do is type the URL below and print off the results. (Note that at the moment, the links in the greeked pages will not work.)
Be sure to include a trailing slash if your URL does not specify a file name.
(For anyone interested in more background to this approach, Jakob Nielsen reported on a study by Tom Tullis in this Alertbox article.)
