Tables are a good part of a post if you want to show some score card, earning charts or something else. And creating charts and tables in Microsoft office tools and integrating them to wordpress is just hard for everyone. And for wordpress blogs, there is a plugin for that.

It is wp-table plugin for wordpress blogs. It helps in integrating multiple tables into a post, and customizing the tables in every way as you like.

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.

There are many settings where you can -

Add or remove columns and rows
Customize the stylesheet and fix the size of table
Colors can be changed from the Manage > Tables panel
Can make multiple tables and use in a single post
Have the option of sorting the list in table with some order

There are many options that you would come across when playing around with the plugin.

How to install the plugin?
Copy all files in the plugin folder “wp-table” . Activate the plugin and start under Manage -> Tables to edit your first table. The plugin creates automatic one sample table in you wordpress database. If you would like to edit online the CSS file, set the write permission for wp-table.css .

Edit everything through the Manage > tables section and then every table will be given an ID. In the blog post, use this code -
[TABLE=ID]
Replace ID with the number or your desired table, and its set.

Check the plugin homepage to download.

Although I hate websites like MySpace that design their entire site around tables, there are definitely times when it’s appropriate to use tables within the body of a post, so I’ll definitely be bookmarking this plugin.
