Just by using a little CSS magic you can turn any boring site into a
beaut’. (Now tell me you didn’t design using tables…)

I’ve got Zeldman’s book “Designing with Web Standards”, where he talks
all about not using tables except for tabular data. I did that up
front. It’s a good book, but he’s very much talking to
Web-designers-cum-graphic-artists rather than plonkers like me.
Problem is that most of my content is tabular data; on almost all
pages, I’ve got a banner across the top, menu down the left side, a
description of what the content is, plus a whole lot of what’s
obviously data out of tables in the middle. Where there’s actions the
user can do on a row of data (which is the norm), I’ve added clickable
links at the right hand end of the row. I’ve used
With a bit of shading and borders (top and bottom border slightly
lighter/darker creates a feeling of depth), you can create pretty rows,
for example http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum, all tabular data.
