  Our free site (testsjg7.wordpress.com) uses the Blogum theme. We have set a custom background color for the overall site. We would like to set the border and background color for table rows to white. However, when I drop the HTML code for background color into the table structure (<tr bordercolor=”#ffffff” bgcolor=”#ffffff”>) and save the code, wordpress.com strips out the color attributes, leaving only the table row HTML (

  ). Is there a way to designate the background color for tables on a free site?

  Thank you,

  The coding you’re trying to use is obsolete. Correct coding:
  <tr style="background-color:#fff;">
