Template
Hi SBCScholar, I am having some trouble with the above welcome template, which I recently created. I will leave it there for now, whilst someone with more expertise looks at it, as, at present, it will put all the text which is below into a blue box. If you want, feel free to remove the template, or you can just wait for it to be fixed. Alternatively, if you feel that having all your talk page text in blue looks good, please say... Regards, Mat  ty. 007 08:00, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
