Here is the CSS parameters for setting up a simple table. I don’t know why they are disliked, especially when intended to keep everything tidy on a web page or blog post.

If you have more than one table, just add a class name, in this case .black. Then the table would start like this: <table class=”black”>

table.black{
margin: 10px 8px 10px 8px;
padding: 10px 8px 10px 8px;
table-layout: automatic;
text-align: Left;
font-family: Times New Roman;
font-size: 20px;
line-height: 110%;
word-spacing: 1px;
color: #FFEFC9;
}

That was fairly straightforward and are used on my tutorial here:

Then there is a need to use them in blog posts to keep everything tidy.

If you have Excel, get a copy of my HTML generator(right sidebar, below). This is real handy if you use a shopping cart. It can generate a simple table like this one without a cart entry, or one that employs a cart.

If you have a blog and want to post images, maybe a Shopping Cart button or three, and a description of the object in the photo, it can get spread out and look a bit messy.

I have good news and bad news, first the bad news:  The solution is to write a bit of HTML code to organize things.  The good news is that I know how and have a free Excel Spreadsheet you can use to generate the code automatically. It is constructed on Excel 2002, so it might not work in all versions of Excel. It is powered by built in Visual Basic Modules, so it is quite automatic. Turn the Macros on, no virus in my version.

Here is what it looks like on my Tumbleweed Glass Site: Here

There is an instruction worksheet, one for a bit of data and two generator pages, one for those who use Mal’s eCommerce Shopping Cart (free) and one page for those who don’t. Upload checkout buttons to your server and it generates cart buttons tailored to the object you are selling.

How about a Blog as a Web Site.

Click on the photo below the Free Tutorial link on the right to get your .pdf document that takes you through every step necessary to having your own site without the headache of learning HTML. Most sites link to a blog from a traditional HTML or PHP page. You can skip that and go directly to installing a user friendly blog as your site.

The File has 12 steps that link to images and videos that simplifies the process into easy understandable steps.

If you have been thinking about your own site, now there is a great way to get started, and this is where you begin.
