it will make things like not quoting the imgur link fully pop out easier for you to see, and not have those kinds of mistakes

also it turns red a lot of legacy / misused things, will help you learn html/css/php and more stuff


also google needs the quote:

np, you'll find bluefish will help you with a lot of stuff, especially remembering the code, it'll suggest stuff for you as you go and you can press enter or down arrow a few times & enter to select its suggestions etc

I am just going to say one thing, never ever use tables for site layouts.

1) They are REALLY frowned upon with actual web professionals (In high school 2 years ago, we went to a competition called Skills USA and there are real web professionals and the one thing they told us before going into the web design competition was use a table for site layout and we will drop you fast.)

2) They are tacky, and are just un-needed

3) Use div tags, easy to use and easy to learn to use.

Alright, thank you. All the table was in there for was for just displaying some stuff.

Will learn how to use div tags!

If you want to know how to use Div Tags checkout w3schools etc. One way of learning div tags is to see how other sites are constructed. If your on google chrome press f12 and mess around that way. If not check what you web development tool is. Most up to date browsers have them

Yeah, you used the table correctly. Anybody that learns web development is hammered with the idea "Don't use tables for site layout" and that's correct, but tons of people morph that into "Don't use tables ever". Tables are there for a reason, to display tabular data. Don't be scared to use them when you are displaying data that is most easily comprehended in a table.
