How to change bgcolor in table cell

    I have a table where I am using code such as this (I’m not sure if the code will show one I hit submit):
    “<tr>

    This is my text

    </tr>”
    I am assigning a value of #A9A9A9 to bgcolor for the table cell.
    In WordPress.com’s View editor the color shows as expected. When I preview the page the color disappears. Other than purchasing the CSS Editor (and will that resolve this?) is there any way around this?

    That type of coding is deprecated and much of it won’t work anymore. You need to use inline CSS (add the style attribute and use the appropriate properties and values):
    <td colspan="3" style="text-align:center;vertical-align:top;background-color:#a9a9a9;">
