  I know how to program HTML, I’m attempting to create a table which contains an image on the left, and text on the right. I’m using the TEXT editor. When I look at the visual editor, it looks as expected. But once published it is not formatted properly, the table is not rendering correctly on the blog page. Is there something I need to know about formatting tables with WordPress that I cannot find in the help and troubleshooting documentation regarding HTML programming? From what I can see, it should work. This is the table code: <table><tr><td align=”middle”><img class=”wp-image-5169 size-full” src=”https://flowerwatch.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/thumbnail_image.jpg” alt=”THUMBNAIL_IMAGE” width=”155″ height=”240″ />
  </td><td align=”middle”>Gathered Rain
  by Kevin Trammel</td></tr></table>

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

  Thank you, I’ll try that. I couldn’t remember, and coulnd’t seem to locate, the CSS syntax for those styles. What puzzled me was that the standard HTML tag attributes seemed to work in the Visual editor in WordPress.
