  • I have since removed the blog post and let me illustrate the problem with this one:

    http://routergenie.xanga.com/2013/09/09/6031/

    I have tried to right align the image but it always on the left and the text also flow from the bottom of the image instead of the top. I wonder why.

    This issue has never been dealt with.

  • This issue along with my difficulty in embedding a simple YouTube video on Xanga with the codes provided YouTube concern me.

  • I include the YouTube embedding issue here for I wonder if it has something to do with WordPress package's editor and related to the formatting issue. I have add these in the "text" tag of a WordPress.com blog (another one I have):

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/IisvyqFSNU0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    WordPress.com converts it to:

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IisvyqFSNU0&w=560&h=315]

    which shows up in the "Visual" tag (WordPress.com blog). However, in Xanga, all the YouTube provided embedding code will just vanish.

    Posting the link like this in the "Visual" tag:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IisvyqFSNU0

    and Xanga 2.0 will just show the link. Post the same link in the "text" section will give me a video on the blog page but it is hard to center the video. Do I have to manually add HTML code to center it?

  • Can any of you help me with this issue? .....this continues to annoy me while no one even seem care about this.....

    I see that the WYSIWYG editor is the same both on Xanga and on Wordpress.com though the version is different. Also the HTML code I have used is the same on both. I copy the code on Xanga and paste it on Wordpress, but only WordPress.com displays it correctly as I intent it to be:

    http://routergenie.xanga.com/2013/01/01/test-3/

    http://routergenie.wordpress.com/2014/01/06/another-test/

    The codes inside the

    for the post is the same. Why are they displayed differently? I have use FireFox on this and the results are the same. It has something to do with Xanga.

  • This is what I have found further.

    If I use the TinyMCE editor to edit the photo, it will put out codes inside the img tag like this:

    class="alignleft" style="border: 3px solid black;margin: 3px"

    The class "alignleft" is causing the problem. I say so because if I set the left align is part of the style attribute, it is OK. E.g.

    style="border: 3px solid black;margin: 3px; float: left"

    However, in order to do this, I need to edit the HTML code. Why is it like this? Does it mean the class "alignleft" needs to be defined somewhere?
