If you are using WordPress.com, you have to put in the old fashioned code for align=”center”. If you are using the full version of WordPress, please use the stylesheet. There are tons of references within these articles in this series to help you learn HTML and CSS in more detail.

How do you add space between lines in the table with the Truman Capote quote (heavy black outline, grey/silver inside)? When I try to add more than a few lines of text, it looks very squished together horizontally. Sorry but I’m just learning html. Thanks in advance for your help!

I know this topic is a year old, but, wow, alot of harsh, dogmatic comments here. She made the point that this will work universally on any html platform, and was specific that it was designed for WordPress.com users. Not sure if the CSS restrictions are still in place in 2009 or not, but layout tags have been evolving for nearly 15 years, and alot of people learn certain layout techniques that were the standard at a given time. So grilling someone over lack of inline CSS (especially when she states she PREFERS to use inline CSS, but is restricted) is going really overboard.

Old school tables may be depreciated for layout, but they are so much more backward compatible, even if they are a pain to work with and not intended for layout. But people still do use them and they have their place.

I should whip up my Netscape Navigator 2.0 and render some of these newer pages LOL.

Thanks for the helpful article Lorelle.
