  My blog is located at http://cccloc.wordpress.com/
  Notice the third column to the right? The table is not wide enough to see the entry on the page. . How do I widen the table?

  Next question: Can we use HTML code in the edits to change the font sizes and colors?

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

  You can’t really. This is a limitation of the theme you have chosen. My suggestion is to put a read more tag right before the table and then when people click on it they will get the full-width post where they can see the entire table.

  Sorry, I just saw the table code in HTML, and noticed there is a HTML button to enter code.
  Here is the table code:
  <tr>
  <td valign=”top” width=”163″>
  <div>Spring Semester</div></td>
  <td valign=”top” width=”73″>
  <div>$106.87</div></td>
  <td valign=”top” width=”118″>
  <div>$96.87</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td valign=”top” width=”163″>
  <div>Second Check*</div></td>
  <td valign=”top” width=”73″>
  <div>  $53.44</div></td>
  <td valign=”top” width=”118″>
  <div>$48.44</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td valign=”top” width=”163″>
  <div>Third Check*</div></td>
  <td valign=”top” width=”73″>
  <div>  $53.43</div></td>
  <td valign=”top” width=”118″>
  <div>$48.43</div></td>
  </tr>
  </tbody>
  </table>

  What do you suggest I do to change the font size so that all fits within the table?

  the sacredpath, thank you. I tried different themes, but since we are “limited” none of them seemed to work as well as this one….more visually pleasing. Do you have one in mind to suggest?

  I’m going through the different themes and the right margin seems to cut off, regardless of the appearance. Not sure what to do about that right margin cut-off.

  How do I put a “read more” tag to the table? Need instructions.

  You have 3 columns in the table at 163px wide each so the post area in any theme you choose has to be greater than that or the table will get cut off (489px). I would recommend looking for a theme with a post area 500px wide or greater. You can use this post by Panos as a guide. It talks of image width, but it is the same thing really, it reflects the maximum width of the posting area for the various themes here.

  Here is the support document for inserting a read more tag in your posts.
