Hmmmm...

Lets see. What do I usually wish for? I can't even remember anymore. Oh yeah...

Artists and Writers: Anything you want to create, either remixing or illustrating something that I've written in the past, or maybe something from the fandom of any of this year's 5 star reads?

Graphics and/or Coding Gurus: I neeeeeeed help! I did one of those reading bingo things--first one I've ever finished and I'm ridiculous pleased with myself--and I'd like to make it pretty, or have links or... IDK, be able to make it mine in someway, ya know? So I need help, or it if is easier to just do it than explain it, then that instead. *looks sheepish*

Readers and Reccers: Sell me on your favorite book from this year!

And wow. That's it. Oh yeah, if you have asked for anything on your Wishlist that you think might be in my wheel house to provide--as a writer, reader or squee-er, do me a solid and link it here, yeah? Cool.

Okay. So, the HTML to make a table is a little sideways, because you have to define the table, then the header row, then the elements inside the header row, then a new data row, and those elements, etc.

The W3Schools project has all the details, but generally, it looks like this:


<table>
<caption>Table Caption</caption>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Header 1</th>
<th>Header 2</th>
<th>Header 3</th>
<th>Header 4</th>
<th>Header 5</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>

<tr>

<tr>

</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>


That's the basics of a 5x5 table with a header row on top. Put titles and things in the <td> tags, and you can use links HTML as well, and you can make the cover graphic clickable as a link if desired as well.

Hopefully that makes sense?

The border may or may not be there depending on whether or not DW allows you to use <style> tags in your entry.

Let's see if I can make this work in small caps.



There we go. This is possible because I added a style attribute to the preceding paragraph. You might have to do the same with your table by adding style="border: 1px solid black;" to the

table
th
td

elements, so they read <table style="border: 1px solid black"> for example.
