Creating tables in blogs or websites is one area where beginner web authors have no idea. I did a Google search on it last Monday and I learned how to do it. I think it'll be useful for you guyz too... that's why I'm sharing it! :-)

There are basically two ways...

1) Using Html Tags for table creation

Here goes an example of a table

<table>
<tr><td>One </td><td> CodingDevil</td></tr>
<tr><td>Two </td><td> J3rky Adminr</td></tr>
<tr><td>Three </td><td> Chid</td></tr>
<tr><td>Four </td><td >Te-Bay</td></tr>
<tr><td>Five </td><td >Thanks 4 visiting</td></tr>
<tr><td>Six </td><td >please comment</td></tr>
</table>

Here Goes our table....

One	CodingDevil
Two	J3rky Adminr
Three	Chid
Four	Te-Bay
Five	Thanks 4 visiting
Six	please comment

All HTML tables starts with <table> and ends with </table>

<tr> [tr = table row] indicates new row in the table and usually ends with </tr>

<td> tag indicates the beginning of the content of a table column [td=table data] and this tag ends with </td>

Using this method for creating tables in your blog / website can be tiresome especially if the table is considerably big!

2) Using Ms-word to make a table

This method of table creation is easy.Just draw out a table in Ms-word and use it in blog or website.

1.Create a table of your needs in Ms-word and save the table as HTML (Web Page).

2.Open the saved webpage (table) in notepad or similar text editor.

3.Copy the parts of code between <table> and </table> and use the table in your blog or website.
