    Here is code for a simple table with two rows of three cells each: 

    <table border="1">
<tr>
<td>row 1, cell 1</td>
<td>row 1, cell 2</td>
<td>row 1, cell 3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row 2, cell 1</td>
<td>row 2, cell 2</td>
<td>row 2, cell 3</td>
</tr>
</table>

    You can add as many cells to each row as you want.
    You can add as many rows as you need.

    Feel free to ask more questions, or take a look at this tutorial which shows how to make changes and additions to the basic table above:

    If you use an external blogging software, Google “Blogging Software.” Some allow you to create tables in their software. Essentially you are skipping inserting code, but you get the same end result.

    (Please provide a link to the blog you ask about in these forums starting with http://
    Volunteers are not always inclined to do detective work to look for a blog you might be asking about. Is this you?

    At any rate sawvell mentioned offline editors. Here is the wp.com support document with some reputable links:

    (note, if you are on a mac, then the offline editors won’t make tables.)

    In my opinion: There are online table generators, but writing a basic table is usually faster and less confusing once you learn what the tags in the html code mean.
