eek. i hate tables now

i helped someone put their site back together. they made it in tables and then changed image sizes etc. gameover.
takes forever trying to fix it back up, moreso the more complicated the layout and content are

if it were css it wouldn't have taken long at all (especially for someone who knows the right properties), probably quicker than setting up tables in the first place. but then changing it around is so easy

so ecommerce level of website - no tables.
simple unimportant site? tables will do i guess
