I've been following your site for many months now, and this is easily one of the best things posted. The message about tables should really be getting through to people by now, especially businesses. Take Amazon.com's new re-design. They're still (stupidly) using tables for their content layout. Hmm... you'd think Amazon.com could afford to hire some good design professionals. Also, I would very much appreciate it if you could review my blog (the one I am linked to). Thanks, Nathan Hey John.

I'll take it as a warning to stay far away from tables (for layouts, anyway). I'd be thrilled to get my blog reviewed. It's less than 2 months old, and I write about blogging, entrepreneurship, and marketing, with some other stuff sprinkled in here and there. Just a friendly note, you might want to update the Availability date on your site's home page - it's a tad out of date :wink:. John, thanks for sharing your rant with us!

Wordpress at the time did use tables for layouts, it was only in the 1.0 release that it switched. And of course I'm interested in getting my blog reviewed.

I did try to get it looking right with css but I couldnt get it looking right on all browsers. I told myself I would try and get it working with CSS later but I havent got round to it. Of course, I'm sure it can be done with CSS however whilst I know CSS, I'm not an expert. I have actually used tables to display the authors on blogging tips at the side of the home page.

When I started I was using tables to center things, I know that is so sad, but I didn't know any better and it took soooo long to do one post.

Same age as my blog which is pr 0! But its okay I'm taking things slowly for now, not in any rush. Anyway I don't see any tables on your site so you're already on a great start. :) Other than that, your site faces the same problem as mine, the loading time is horrible. I had a problem with tables too. There is no way I want to have tables on my site as firstly its bad for SEO and secondly it slows down the loading time of the site. When I first started building my site, I was thinking of using Drupal or Joomla. I've spent weeks trying to learn how to make templates with these 2 CMS. The template engine is horrible as it produce alot of tables! Sadly to say I've wasted weeks on these 2 CMS, I should have just started with Wordpress. With that said, how about a review of my slow loading (even though table-less) and not many posts site? Any extra exposure is welcome. :) wow Lori amazing, a pr 4 for a blog under 2 months old!
