back to step 5
Step 6 - Making a Table.
Tables are a good way to make your site look a lot neater, they're quite complicated but once you've learned how to do them they are really easy.
First of all start with this, <table border=1 cellpading=0 cellspacing=0 bgcolor=COLOURHERE bordercolor=COLOURHERE> changing the number in border=1 will make the border thicker if you put a higher number and if you change it to 0 you wont have a border.
changing the cellpadding number will make an invisible border(more like a gap really) around each cell and changing the cellspacing number will give you a gap beween each cell.
bgcolor and bordercolor will change the colour of the background and border, just replace COLOURHERE with a colour (click here for colours).

Now we'll start doing the table, copy this after the code above to make a row, <tr> then to add a column type<td> type the text that you want in that column, then to end the column</td> and either start a new column using those td tags or end the row:</tr> and start a new one.

To do this;
Row span text
text
text
type this instead of the td tag<td rowspan=3>rember to change the number acorrding to how many rows it spans

To do this;
Col Span
texttext
type this instead od the td tag<td colspan=2>remember to change the number acorrding to how many cols it spans
