Since we haven’t been creating much content on our site, the My Workbench page is rather empty. This can make it hard to understand what’s going on and to grasp the module’s possibilities. This is a situation that you’ll encounter often when developing a site: at a certain point, you need content to test a certain feature, or to verify what a certain section on your site will look like.

The Devel Generate module, which comes with the Devel module (http://www.drupal.org/project/devel) allows us to quickly generate sample content, users, taxonomy vocabularies/terms, and menu items, so testing functionality on our new site becomes a lot easier, since it will more closely resemble its actual functioning.
