 * I’m trying to get vertical align to work.
 * I was reading over this post; [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/valign-and-other-table-formatting](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/valign-and-other-table-formatting)
   and following that but it didn’t seem to work.
 * I added;
 * `td.spotlight { vertical-align: middle; }`
 * to my CSS sheet.
 * Then here is my code in my table;
 *     ```
       <table align="center">
       <tbody>
       <tr>
       <td rowspan="2"><img class="wp-image-473 aligncenter" src="http://www.happy-ever-after.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/test2-150x150.png" alt="" width="134" height="200" /></td>
       <td rowspan="2" width="100"></td>
       <td class="spotlight">
       <h5 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: TheChickenloveStory">Author Name</span></h5>
       </td>
       </tr>
       <tr valign="top">
       <td>author biography</td>
       </tr>
       <tr>
       <td colspan="3">[spacer height=15px]</td>
       </tr>
       <tr>
       <td colspan="3">book list</td>
       </tr>
       </tbody>
       </table>
       ```
   
 * The part of the table, the TD, that I wanted to align middle, I put the class
   =spotlight but that like it said I should in that post I linked above but it 
   didn’t seem to work.

 * Above is the screencap of what it looks like. The author name long should be 
   in the middle of the picture to the left, not at the top, but isn’t.
 * Help?

 * Screenshots are of very little use in helping with CSS issues. If you can post
   a link to where the problem can be seen and solutions tested, someone may be 
   able to help you.
