Many times I stumbled accross this problem - how to add a table to the blog. If you are a webmaster, then it’s easy, you just switch to the “Code” tab and make a table manually, however, if you are “just” a blogger and have zero or very little knowledge in HTML?
There are two options. First, is to open some WYSIWYG such as DreamWeaver and make a table there, possible with content and all the table’s definition (no CSS atrib’s tho) and paste it to the “code” section of the blog post. You will see grey dots indicating where the table starts and ends, with all its cells and in the Visual page you can even resize your table.
Second option is even easier. Get the WP-Table plug in.
This plugin creates and manages tables for wordpress. So you can post i.e. sport results in a fixed table format. You don’t need to enter tables anymore in the plain text mode and the WYSIWYG editor didn’t damage the table layout. The table layout can be changed via a css file and you can import a csv file as table.
Very easy to install and to work with. So, tables ARE possible in WordPress.

Thanks for this! I looked for a table plugin for a while, and never found one, so I gave up.
Thanks for posting this.
