I understand your point even if it was trying to hit me. :) And about the table, yeah I just copy it but the formatting goes away. And if it is a somewhat complex table (like a column will be divided into 2 columns again), it just looks weird. What I usually do then, is just convert the table to an image then put it in the blog. I'm not sure if there's an easier and better way. No worries. I understand your point even if it was trying to hit me. :)

The second one just happened to me yesterday with a client. It infuriated me for hours. If it's a table... Word should be able to export the code as an HTML document and you can just copy the portion where the table appears. That's the easiest way I can think of. :P Sorry Geo, I wasn’t trying to hit you with that comment. The second one just happened to me yesterday with a client. It infuriated me for hours.

Sorry ia-chan I am one of those people.. sometimes. :D And speaking of design, I have a problem of putting tables from Word to HTML (especially if its a complex table). Do you have any advise on that, blog-tutors? I usually want to just copy-paste my table to my corporate blog.. you know how big bosses love charts and tables. Lol.

The file size could have been smaller and hence the loading time could have been faster. I also hate it when people copy-paste from Word to HTML and don't check if symbols like curly quotes, en/em dashes, and ellipses actually show up as readable text. Even worse is when you copy from Word and you use the HTML generated by it. Nightmares. I hate it when people resize their images in HTML, not in a graphics editor.

They also teach that here in the corporate world.. but it's more focused on presentations. Anyway, good post. I'll wait for the next installment.
