  Bonjour,
  could someone explain to me why the following code gives me a column in a post or page in all the themes I’ve tested EXCEPT with the Theme called Able… where the table takes the whole width of the page ?

  <table align="right" width="40%">
  <tr>
  <td> TEXT or html code </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td>  TEXT or html code </td>
  </tr>
  </table>

  I really do not like not to unsderstand…. so I would actually apreciate any explanation …

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

  That’s not really a theme issue. Some older themes accept the outdated coding you’re using, but most newer ones don’t. Instead of this:
  <table align="right" width="40%">
  you need this:
  <table style="width:40%;float:right;">
