    (You can put the text either right or left, of course)

    <table style=”margin-left:2.2em;”><tr><td>[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkOHsjZKBB0&w=320&h=240]</td></tr></table>

    Odd. I don’t know what I am missing. My test blog is using Misty Look, when I use this code, it looks good:

    <table style="margin-left:1.4em;" border="0" align="right">
    <tbody>
    <tr>
    <td>[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkOHsjZKBB0&w=320&h=240]</td>
    </tr>
    </tbody></table>
    Today audiences are demanding more. People are looking for a relationship, to have their opinions heard and to be in a constant two-way flow of communication; they are looking for interaction. No longer can a company simply supply the facts to their audiences and expect them to stick around. Although the world has moved to a web based society, companies can still provided the expected personable communication their publics are looking for through interactivity.
    
    Since the birth of the internet interactive media has continuously innovated and will never quit. Despite the economic downfall companies are still perusing active social media.  Sapient, an interactive marketing firm conducted a survey including over 80 chief marketing executive and professionals who supervise the aspects of their companies’ digital media. While 65% admitted to an equal or decreasing bud

    perhaps some one else can tell you and me what is wrong?

    yep, I tried it and it should work with Tess’s code. Are you inputting this into the html editor not the visual editor?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hmm. it does (often) seem that switching from HTML to Visual editor sometimes places the cursor inside a tag which is then closed at a different place than you would expect.
    As in pasting the code from my 4:56 post, then moving to visual editor, then deleting all my “text text text etc.” stuff. So when you try to type YOUR text, the cursor might actually be in a place so that it splits the tags.

    I think that makes sense?

    i’ve copied it and tried it on both and it’s still showing up with the words…i left it up on my page if you want to see it. i dont understand why it be working on your and not mine either..

    @goydanmx: You’ve pasted the code in the visual editor; you need to paste it in the html editor (as aw1923 suggessted, and as my post says).
