    Hi
    I have a couple tables I use to have in my old website. I cant just cut and paste it in wordpress. I tried scribd uploads and I don’t think the tables looks nice. Could they be made for me or is this too big of a job?
    I have one as a scribd file on my site now at the following location:

    http://corkscrittercare.com/pethome-sitting

    The other tables is the same style but larger or smaller amount of rows

    Thanks for your help.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Rather than worrying about the HTML and CSS to use for a table you could include them in an image galley.

    great idea ty halluke:) Ill try that

    Some of my tables is like a check list for the owners to do before a pet sitter arrives. So theres a box for the check and then a description line next to it …2 columns and 5 to 10 rows. And no pictures. What do you suggest for this?

    Thanks for your help.

    sorry the amount of columns is 4 (check box, description box, check box, description box)

    I would recommend using a definition list, you might have to tweak how it displays using CSS depending on the defaults in your theme but if you have a title and description for each part of your checklist it would make the most sense both semantically and structurally:

    <dl>
  <dt>Item 1</dt>
  <dd>This is the description for item 1</dd>
  <dt>Item 2</dt>
  <dd>And, unsurprisingly, this is the description for item 2</dd>
</dl>

    If you’re displaying more columns then using a table might be your best bet!

    the gallery worked well ty :)

    where do i try and see if this code works? Do I go to the page I want it on and paste it in the text area?

    <dl>

      <dt>Item 1</dt>

      <dd>Fence secure, gate locked</dd>

      <dt>Item 2</dt>

      <dd>Garage door locked</dd>

    </dl>

    You have to switch to the text editor instead of using the visual editor (there’s a little tab to click on at the top right of the typing window) but otherwise yes, just paste this in to the page or post you want and then you can preview how it will look.

    I think I better make a table. Here is my page that has my attempt to the table…its the table that I what but the color and jazz to it isn’t there yet. To find it look for the heading – A Pet Owner’s Checklist:
    There are 2 tables under that heading.
    – My attempt to code lol
    – My attempt to copy and paste what i used in my last webpage.

    Is there more coding to make it a black or blue {blue color #000079}

    Here is the link to the page:
