  I was editing the color of a table I coded in html on a page. The colors show up in the visual screen when editing, but not on the live blog.
  Here is the code, am I missing something?:

  <table border=”1″>
  <tbody>
  <tr>

  President

  Bill Harris

  (email visible only to moderators and staff) </td>
  </tr>

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The color code needs to be:
  <td style="background-color:#808080;">

  But if you want the same shade of grey for both cells, there’s no point adding the style attribute to each td tag: add it to each tr tag instead – or even once for all to the table tag, if you want all rows the same.
