 * I am new to wordpress and am in the process of building a new site for a club
   night I run. I was aiming to launch the site on Monday
 * I wanted to include serveral artist profiles with set layout and questions. I
   made a very simple template with an html table and pasted this in.
 * Almost works perfectly but despite it telling the table to align images ot the
   top it doesnt. I presume somehting to do with css. Please can someone tell me
   how to work around this.

 * I would like the image on left aligned to the top.
 * Many Thanks in advance
 * p.s. there are a few more probs with site you may notice but dont worry – I am
   in process of fixing these!

             <p align="left">Hello to everyone reading this , My name is Alex Kidd and about 15 years ago i got into the art of DJ’ing. Since then i have been through an unbelievable and at times disturbing journey of insanity. From winning awards, hosting festivals, promoting large scale events, running record labels, setting up artist management rosters, flying on private jets and travelling all over the world - from what i can remember iv had a bit of a mad one. the rest is a blur.</p>
             <p align="left"><strong><font color="784fa0">2. When did you first show an interest in DJ’ing / producing?</font></strong></p>
             <p align="left">When i was about 12 i got into DJ’ing from listening to old tape packs. the producing followed when i realized i needed to understand how to make tunes before i could go to the next level. So i went on a studio course and haven’t looked back since</p>

             <p align="left">There’s no one person – I’d say different genres like techno and hardcore influence the hard dance sounds i play currently.</p>

 * Infexious, no expert here, but I’m learning too. I think the answer to the above
   is, as you suspect, that the table instructions themselves are one thing, the
   code with the style another. So if you’ve got code that sets a certain style,
   the html will follow that, or work within its boundaries, to some extent. as 
   if you had a <TD> or <TR> within a table…
 * Hope this helps. Let me know, I’m going through some of the same woes, especially
   with initial template setup. Once that’s set we should have smooth sailing.

   like this in html (as showen above)
 * am i mistaken and this is for css ? If so which style sheet should I change do
   you know?

 * You have code errors in style.css.
    `top: -400px` is out of order and an ending
   bracket that doesn’t belong there. This code doesn’t work anyway so delete it.
   In your screen.css remove the `td,` from this line of code. `table, td, th {vertical-
   align: middle;}` You might need to add some padding to the top now. `td {padding-
   top:6px}` adjust the amount as needed.
