Basics
Ok to start a table it is just <table> and </table> to finish it, nice and easy to remmember. <td> is table data, and <tr> is Table row. These both have to be closed, with </td> and </tr> respectivly.
So you can build your first table to align your text easily by going
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<a href="http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/mpk/">
<img src="http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/mpk/mpk.gif" alt="MPK on-line" border="0" height="35" width="80">
</a>
</td>
<td>
My favorite web site, especially the pages on images</td>
</tr>
</table>
Which will give you

My favorite web site, especially the pages on images

Advanced
You can also add cellspacing, cellpadding and change the Background coulors in the table. cell padding goes in the <table> so it will look like this;
<table cell spacing="3" cell padding ="3">
Changing the background can be done by saying <td bgcolor="Silver"> or <td bgcolor=#OOFFFF>
So you could make something really beautiful like

My favorite web site, especially the pages on images

Ok so the border looks awful but you get the idea,
source code below or in a separate window

<table border="2" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3" >
<tr>
<td> <td bgcolor="Silver">
<a href="http://www.mpk-online.com"> <br>
<img src="http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/mpk/mpk.gif" alt="MPK on-line" border="0" height="35" width="80">
</a>
</td>
<td>
<td bgcolor=#OOFFFF> <font color="black"> My favorite web site, especially the pages on images
</font>
</td>
</tr>
</table>


What about aligning some text with more than one image?

What you do here is you allocate how many colums or rows you want your text / images to span take a look at this example

These are the 2 buttons people have made for me The one at the top is the one I use most as the bottom one is quite a large image

Take a look at the source For the table above

These are the 2 buttons people have made for me The one at the top is the one I use most as the bottom one is quite a large image

This uses Colspan try the source , and notice where the Table Data ends up
