Hey Lawrence. I was wondering what software program you use to create your table. Do you have a specific program you use to create all your blogs? I'm still a bit new to this blog thing and am trying to find something better to use. I've tried Word and Publisher, but had problems with them both.
Thanks in advance,
Brett Mumaw
