Hi Orblers,

I was looking at incorporating a NRL points table into my league.net.au blog, and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to how I could create one, and have it displayed on my blog.
I have thought of creating in an Excel spreadsheet, but how can I transfer it across without the display of the table changing?
This idea could also be utilised by other sporting blogs in Orble, and if these tables could be displayed, than I am sure that we would also get repeat non-Orble visitors too.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

StephenP

Hmmm - you could post it as HTML but not sure how you would save it. You might be able to export Microsoft Excel files as HTML?

That's a good idea -- Or just create a regular HTML tables. They are quite simple.

Here's two options.

1. You can save as an html file directly from Excel. When you "save as", select "htm" as the file type. You can then grab the source code, and stick it in your blog. Put it between

html3456 and

/html

(with square brackets around each of these).

2. You might be able to convert it PDF, then convert the PDF to an image file... That's what I did in this post...

If you don't have the software for this, I'd be happy to do it for you as a once-off thing. PM me your e-mail address.

Lateral thinking

You could even create the table in PowerPoint then you can export direct as a PNG/GIF:

As you can see the quality isn't very good, though that's partially because the width is set to 100% rather than Natural Width. The big problem is that the text of the table won't be usable by the search engines, which (I guess) would be a real loss. I'd go for the export as HTML option...

yeah, tables are bitches (here that? I just swore, OMG I'm such a nerd

), just take screenshots and paste them.

That is unless you can work out how to use div tags, keep W3C compliant, not that anyone would care.
