Welcome!

Hello, Mr webby, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!  --Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 23:55, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Sure! First, click the link at the top of the screen that says "my preferences," or just follow this link. You should see a box that says "signature." Check the "raw signature" box, and enter the HTML code for your sig in the box, and then save your preferences. You should be good to go! --Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 23:59, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Just one thing: you should probably make your sig link to your real userpage, which is User:Mr webby. Wikipedia is case-sensitive, so the capitalized one isn't yours. If you want to change your username to a capitalized version, go to Wikipedia:Changing username. Happy editing! --Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 00:03, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

To change the background, you would do something like: <span style="background-color:[color]">text</span>. And no, I'm not getting sick of answering your questions; we were all newbies once. :) --Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 00:22, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Odd that it didn't work. Alternately, you could try <font style="background:[color]">text</font>. Make sure you don't put in the square brackets, those are just for demonstrative purposes only. Hope that works. --Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 00:57, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I see you already found the template you can use. Feel free to use anything you like on my pages; it is a wiki, after all. --Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 01:45, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Table of contents

Yeah, the list of messages only appears when you get to a certain number of headers in your talk page (I think it's 4). If you want it to display before that, put __FORCETOC__ at the top of your page. Good luck! --Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 00:50, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Also, an unrelated thing: please make your signature link to User:Mr webby instead of User:Mr Webby. Wikipedia is case-sensitive, so you're linking to a different or nonexistent user right now. If you want your username to be capitalized, leave a request at Wikipedia:Changing username. Thanks! --Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 00:51, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
