  My problem today is that my HTML tags are not working…when I put in tags for separating tables that keep pictures (for my use) from the article, the tags aren’t working today…typed them 5 times to no avail, even copied the tags from a previous post to no avail…but when I go to my html editor and put the tags in, it works (from the editor, but not the blog)
  here is my tag…
  <div align=”center”>
  <table border=”0″ cellpadding=”0″>
  <tbody>
  <tr>
  <td width=”149″></td>
  </tr>
  </tbody>
  </table>
  </div>
  it has worked for the last four years I have been doing my blog, but today it isn’t happening…why
  thnx for the help

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

  A table is used for arranging content in rows and columns. There’s absolutely no point using a table with a single cell. If your intention is a centered section 149px wide, all you need is this:

  <div class="aligncenter" style="width:149px;">
  SECTION CONTENT HERE
  </div>

  Thank you very much will try that…the reason I was using that tag was so I can put a picture in it and a caption for the picture under it

  You’re welcome.
  You can add an image caption when uploading and inserting an image, with no need for any extra code:

  I know that I do not need to have the table in there, I do it if I want to add a caption of a picture, but will look at the url you posted
