The article I linked to solves the challenge by changing the way that the file is read. There is a section in the file for data, in this case we want the data to read as raw/binary (working with text is easier than working with black and white squares).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAW_image_format
That's really all that there is to the challenge. @ RILEY16: You might have translated to unicode or something other than ascii. If not, then you messed up somewhere around "Con**". Fix the punctuation after it makes sense.

I'm sorry, everyone. I hate to have to bring this thread up again, but I have decoded most of the b*****, and I have a sentence that makes sense... I was pretty sure I had it until I put it into the answer box and it said "Please try again". So could I pm someone to check out what I have and see where I made the mistake? I would appreciate the help 
Thanks in advance!

I'll put it this way: if you were to paste the string you got in notepad, then read the string and type what you see under it, you would realize the problem immediately. You could PM if you are still stuck.
