I persevered... and I succeeded!


 
 
 YESSSSSS!!! 

 I found the code that was causing the problems! 

If you insert a background, border, etc into your blog entry using HTML code, even though you place a < table > tag at the beginning of your entry, do NOT close off the entry with the < /TABLE > tag... just leave it open.

I now know why so many computer software engineers are bald!
And I can relate to what keeps them going... 

There is something to be said for that feeling of success 
after hours/days/weeks of frustration
trying to solve the craziest of problems!

It also doesn't make sense that in order for our own html source code to work, we open a blog entry with <pre></table></table>... but that's the crazy world of msn spaces...! When my blogs were all messed up, my codes all worked in the code testing thing at http://www.davesite.com/webstation/html/ producing tables that looked just like they were meant to (as long as I took out the "close table" tags at the beginning!), but in the blog module here, anything could happen when I hit that "publish" button! But you're right -- leaving off the closing tag would normally be completely wrong! 22 Oct.
