Bad Alignment after paragraph, blockquote

[amiiss]

Hi,
Whenever I put <blockquote> or </blockquote> or <p> in a post, the text after that is centered unless I write <p align = "justify">. I have tried everything I know to get rid of this, such as <div align = "left">. This problem has been with me for over a thousand posts in two GM web logs in 3 versions. My templates use tables but the text is justified if I just write text and don't put any format tags.

I don't know if this is a template problem or a GM problem. Does anyone know about this? I could not find any reference to it in the forum.
Thanks.

This sounds like a CSS style problem, but without digging deeper it is hard to say which one is causing the problem.

Here are some tips to help you track it down.

• Correct operation of styles will not happen without valid HTML.
  
• Any style will stay in forced until the tag it is applied to is closed.
  
• Tags must be correctly nested or the style may fail.
  

If you would like I will post some links to web pages and tools I use.

Best of luck,
Carlos
