[HTML ][ /HTML] (remove the extra spaces) can produce this with your code (i put in the missing quote mark):
HTML Code:
<table border="0" width="100%">
<colgroup style="background-color:#39476d"></colgroup>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="text-align:center;width:609px;height:40px"><span style="border-collapse:separate;font-size:13px;font-weight:bold"><font color="#444444"> </font><a href="https:link removed for BG"><font color="#FFFFFF">Home</font></a><font color="#FFFFFF"> | School Homepage | Archives | About Us </font></span><font color="#FFFFFF"> </font></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
