 * I put this simple form code onto a page and got some crazy results.
 *     ```
       <form>
       First name: <input type="text" name="firstname" /><br />
       Last name: <input type="text" name="lastname" />
       </form>
       ```
   
 * The results are:
    1st line: First name: 2nd line: box for first name + Last name:
   3rd line: box for last name.
 * Any ideas why?

 * Have you taken a look at your theme’s style.css?
 * Many themes have basic form styling built in, which may be interfering with your
   desired output
