Painting after taking off wallpaper
I had wallpaper on my walls that has been there from the early 80's, I took the wallpaper off but now I have this cracked texture underneath where the wallpaper was. Do I just sand it and prime it or should I go over the whole wall with spackling or something?

Generally you are best off using a primer tailor made for the job at hand. A basic repaint usually doesn't require a primer. About the only times a primer is needed on repaints is to coat repairs, seal stains/odors or to promote adhesion over certain coatings [including wallpaper adhesive]
