Is it possible to indent the title from the right side of the screen if the text is right aligned?

Sorry, this blog is terrible at eating HTML comments.
If you're pasting any HTML/XML/MXML code, you need to convert your < characters to &lt; and your > characters to &gt; .

You can use these HTML tags and attributes: <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong> <pre lang="" line="" escaped="">
