Nice post, good job. Testosterone is a multi faceted hormone!
To be honest I did something(but what?) that totally messed my post up. It centerd everything:S But the info is the same. Thanks for reading!
Did you write it using markdown? or the editor? If you used markdown and centered a picture with <center_> (i added a _ to the command so you can see it) then you forgot to close it after the image link with a </center_> (again the _ would need removed).
If you did't close the centering, then everything will be centered until you add the command.
Mark down.... everything which I put a *dot before wasn't the plan to be centerd. It's looks not neat like this. Thanks for your reply! Im goint to look for it right away
