   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 windsorcoactforamerica.wordpress.com.

   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
