 hello, I am a new user here, I just wrote my first 

page on "the red stripe guy", but I am stupid with computers beyond belief, I noticed after I posted the page that each segment was one long line, and being a dumbass with computers and all I thought it

would be a good idea to go through, and simply punch
enter at a certian point in each line. the page is
not stretched anymore, but it is split up to peices,
and has these grey boxes around fragments of my
paragraphs, I don't know what to do or how to fix 

this, any advice? the same thing happened with this post see what I mean? how to fix it? – Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitch connor (talk • contribs)

With the Mediawiki software, leaving a space before the start of a line of turns it into fixed text, ie. the grey box thingy. It's for coding and stuff. I took a look through The Red Stripe Guy and tried to fix it for you. Hope it's closer to what you wanted :) By the way, it's looking quite good so far, some funny bits in there.
